Multiple Data formats inside Switch DAX MEASURE

I have around 10 measures where 5 were just sum aggregation of direct columns and 5 were calculated for percentage. And I wanted to show all these measures in the Matrix visual. So i created a DAX measure using SWITCH() function. Now the isssue is i want to show 5 of those measures in decimal format and the other 5 measures in percentage(%) format. If i change the format of DAX measure which has all the 10 measures to decimal number or percent. All the measures gets updated to that format.

--------------
I have also tried adding in the FORMAT function to show Percent for those specific 5 measures. But the % only shows for Sub total Level and the Individual rows are Blank. 
Example:

IF (
        metrics = "Orders SM%",
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            quarter = "Q1" && year = "2024" && Names = "Actuals", FORMAT([Input_Table_OrdersSM%1Q24], "Percent"),
            quarter = "Q2" && year = "2024" && Names = "Actuals", FORMAT([Input_Table_OrdersSM%2Q24], "Percent"),
            ........
             ......           , 
BLANK ()

)
-------------
Any idea how this can be achieved?

@bhanu_gautam Thanks for the help! This worked but the individual rows were still blank, so i created a new measure and added all the formats at once and used it as a Value field in the matrix visual. That worked

IF(
NOT(ISBLANK(MetricValue)),
SWITCH(
SelectedMetric,
"Orders", FORMAT(MetricValue, "0.0;(0.0)"),
"Orders SM%", FORMAT(MetricValue/100, "0.0%"),
FORMAT(MetricValue, "0.0") -- Default
),
BLANK()

@Vkl 

maybe you can try isfilter. Below is just a simple example.

 

Measure = if(ISFILTERED('Table'[Column1]),blank(),sum('Table'[value]))

@Vkl , Try using

 

DAX
FormattedMeasure =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
metrics = "Orders SM%" && quarter = "Q1" && year = "2024" && Names = "Actuals", FORMAT([Input_Table_OrdersSM%1Q24], "Percent"),
metrics = "Orders SM%" && quarter = "Q2" && year = "2024" && Names = "Actuals", FORMAT([Input_Table_OrdersSM%2Q24], "Percent"),
metrics = "Sales" && quarter = "Q1" && year = "2024" && Names = "Actuals", FORMAT([Input_Table_Sales1Q24], "0.00"),
metrics = "Sales" && quarter = "Q2" && year = "2024" && Names = "Actuals", FORMAT([Input_Table_Sales2Q24], "0.00"),
...
BLANK()
)
