    Yes, you can use FORMAT function.

     

    SWITCH(FINANCIAL_KPIs_Link[NUMBER],
       1, FORMAT ( [Price_List_Errors], "#,##" ),
       2,  FORMAT ( [Sales], "#,##0 €" ),
       3, FORMAT(GP, "percent")
)

Thank you very much, that worked perfectly. 

 

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to individual variables (Red for bad, green for good)

Not directly. But you can use 2 cards and lay them one over the other. One is formatted to text red and bound to the measure like

IF(Variable < 0, Variable, BLANK())

 and the other card hast text green and the measure is vice versa

 

IF(Variable >= 0, Variable, BLANK())
