    What is [Project] exactly? Is it Measure or just a fields or Calculated column?

    If it is field from table so try to use aggreagation like SUM,MAX etc.

    Use the below DAX:

    MEASURE = IF(SUM(Sheet6[Value])<0,"("& SUM(Sheet6[Value])&")", SUM(Sheet6[Value]))

Or you can also try using Dax:

= IF([Project]<0,&"("& [Project]&")", [Project])

Hi,

When I type [Project], the power bi doesn't recognize it. it underlines it with red unfortunatelly.

        Hi,

        Thank you very much for the help. it helps. The last issue if you could help: when I put brackets, I don't want to see the minus sign. it should be for example; -3 or (3) However, the sum should be as you showed. For example; (3)+4 sum:1 Is there any possibility not to show the minus value?

         

        Regards,
