Format Measure Data Type by Visual

Hello,

I have a table that includes Metric Name, Metric Target and Metric Score.  Target and Score are decimal data types. But the metrics are various data types, For example metric Cost is $, metric Vacancy Rate is a %.  Is there a way to change the format of the Target and Score measures within the visual, depending on what metric it is displaying?
