Decimal precision and formating wrongly implemented ?

I noticed that the formating of a decimal precision is implemented on the modelling tab. For me this is a strange place due to the fact that there is already a  "formating" tab and in the modelling tab again is a section "formating". Apart of that this results in a limitation that is not really good. With this approach the formating of a decimal column doesn't allow me to display the same column on a report in different formatings. I would expect that the precision formating of a decimal column should be configured on a per visual approach. It is not uncommon that you use one column in several visuals on the same report but you need it in different precision or formating.

In some other charts, we can define the value decimal as following screenshot. If there is no such option in one visual, we need to create another column with desired decimal places.

You can also create an idea in https://ideas.powerbi.com for feature request.
