Allow number formats within visuals like Matrix, Table, Card, Etc. to be modified by each Column/Measure added beyond Units of Measure and Decimal Places - specifically the ability to add currency symbols and to adjust how Positive/Negative numbers are shown. I have consolidated data tables and often have to have duplicate measures whereby one reflects an absolute number and the other reflects a currency. In addition, measures have to have additional formatting logic added to "force" a number format. By allowing number formats to be modified within the visual, it will cut down on the number of measures that need to be written.
