SSRS parenthesis around negative values

Question

I have expression like this

=Sum(Fields!TotalBatch.Value - Fields!TotalUsage.Value)

I need a format like below

123.34

(234.45)

I had already set the properties > Number > Use Separator (,) > decimal places = 0 > Negative Numbers using brackets (12,5). But why the separator and the brackets still not appear in when I made preview ?

Answer 1

Try this in the textbox:

=Format(Sum(Fields!TotalBatch.Value - Fields!TotalUsage.Value),"##0.00;(##0.00)")

Let me know if this helps.
