You can not have different datatype or format for a single column. However, if you want just the currency sign to be displayed for Measurement = "Amount", then you can try the following steps:
1. Change the datatype of your Value column to Text
2. Then create a new calculated column using the following DAX:
Column2 = IF(Sheet2[Measurement]="Amount", ( FORMAT ( CURRENCY ( Sheet2[Value] ), "Currency" )), Sheet2[Value] )3. You can use other DAX queries as well to concatenate a $ symbol with Value when Measure = "Amount"Column 3 = IF(Sheet2[Measurement]="Amount", CONCATENATE("$",Sheet2[Value]), Sheet2[Value])Let me know if this works for you.
