Dynamically change measure's format in visual (line chart) using switch?

I have a line chart that I am using a switch statement to select two different groups of measures. One is a whole number and the other is in currency.    Is there a way to have the chart automatica...

Use the FORMAT() function like this

 

Format Test = var tempsum = SUM('Table 2'[Value])
return if(tempsum>5, FORMAT(tempsum, "Currency"), FORMAT(tempsum, "Percent"))
 
You can adapt for your measures.  There are pre-defined ones (like above or you can do custom).
 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

I tried this, but I can't figure out how to make it show in the line chart visual. It won't even allow me to move the measure to the Values.
