How to display negative numbers in braces instead of preceding minus(-)

Hi All,

            I have a requirement where i need to show the numbers in Tooltips or Matrix or anywhere else when displayed in braces.

This is something that can be done in excel. I thought it was not possible in Power BI until today i saw a Dashboard which had data displayed like that.

 

Need help to implement the same.

 

Link for reference dashboard:

 Normally negative values are displayed as -1234 but i need them to be displayed as (1234)
