Humanize format for data columns

In a data table, there are sometimes values which are numeric or date. Date values are displayed using a humanized value ("three days ago") but there doesn't seem to be an option to do this for numeric values. In addition, sometimes we want to see the date in other formats like the exact calendar date. Formatting controls on a field or table would be nice so that we can have more control over these formats when displayed. Whilst it is possible to use a calculated field or a second string field for the information that breaks the association between the field being used to sort and the field being used to visualize the datum.
