    My understanding is that if you want conditional formatting, you are stuck with Strings.  If you need to make numeric operations, keep the source information different to the display information.  I.e. you have a Calc measure that does all of the work, and can be use by other measures further down your chain.  Then have a Display measure that is simply the conditional format of your Calc.

Hi MarkCBB,

 

You can create a view table to store the select item, then write a measure switch the display item based on slicer.

 

Table formula:

 

View Table = UNION(ROW("Name","Currency"),ROW("Name","Whole Number"))

 

 

Measure:

View Measure = 
var selector=IF(HASONEVALUE('View Table'[Name]),VALUES('View Table'[Name]),BLANK()) 
return
SWITCH(selector,"Currency",[Total Units],"Whole Number",CURRENCY([Total Units]))
