Chart Specific Number Formatting

Hi, 

I have a data table with column "Balance" which has an underlying data type of decimal with 4 digits after the period.

 

I know that I can change the number format of this field by clicking on Modeling and then changing the number of decimals that are shown. However this changes the formatting in ALL charts which have this field. 

 

My question is:

Without creating additional columns for each formatting option I may need; Is it possible to have one chart which shows the full 4 digit decimal and another which does not show any? 

 

The need here is that in a summary chart I am not interested in the decimal portion of the Sum of the Balance, however in a detail table I will want to see the full detail of each underlying record.
