In this example we use format to represent the total tax amount from the Orders table in a currency format.
ExFormat = FORMAT(CALCULATE(sum('Fact Order'[Tax Amount])),"$#,##0;($#,##0)")The result of the above DAX Function will look as below
The SQL Equivalent of the above function would be similar to
SELECT FORMAT(12.00,'$#')
