Hi @09avinash ,

You can use custom format strings in Power BI Desktop to customize how fields appear in visuals and make sure your reports look just the way you want them to. To display negative values between parentheses, you can use a custom format string. For example, you can use the format string "#,##0.0;(#,##0.0)" to represent 100 million as 100.0 and -100 million as (100.0).
