    Hi comish4lif2

     

    I believe you can solve this by creating explicit measure(s) with the number format set appropriately, 

    1. Specify the number format for the numeric column itself, which will be applied whenever that column is used on the axis of a visual, such as a matrix column header (I believe you have already done this)
    2. Creating explicit measure for any aggregations of that column, such as 
      Average of Column = AVERAGE ( Table[Column] )​
      and specify an appropriate number format for the measure, such as 2 decimal places.

    This way, you should be able to avoid having to use visual-level settings to override the number format (certainly for built-in visuals).
