Format negative numbers in red parenthesis

‎04-19-2017 07:24 AM

Good Morning, I have a table I have uploaded to PBI and when creating a table/matrix I would prefer to have negative values viewed in red parenthesis. Is this option available?

Hi @Miskondukt,

 

Currently, there is no OOTB option for us to format the negative number as (value) and keep the number data type at the same time. We can only create a calculated column below to return (value) format but the result will be treated as TEXT instead of number, and Conditional Formatting is not available.

 

Column = IF('Table2'[Column1]<0,"(" & FORMAT('Table2'[Column1],"General Number") & ")" ,FORMAT('Table2'[Column1],"General Number"))

 

For your requirement, you can submit a idea here.

 

Best Regards,
