# Format numbers

## Format number columns

Microsoft Word offers a lot of additional options to format number fields. To change the default output of your number, you can use these Microsoft Word formatting options in your DOCX template. 

This way you can format any number column and also [date/hour/time](/template/customization/format-date-and-time.md) column from your own monday.com board.

### **Numeric Format**

To format your placeholder, add a straight line after the name of your placeholder and then add the format string you want to use.

e.g. **`{{Score|P}}`** for: **100.00%**\
or **`{{Total price|C2}}`** for: **$1,230.46**\
or **`{{Total price|N2}}`** for: **1,230.46**

On Item-Level, it's the same logic:

e.g. **`{{Item.Score|P}}`** for: **100.00%**\
or **`{{Item.Total price|C2}}`** for: **$1,230.46**\
or **`{{Item.Total price|N2}}`** for: **1,230.46**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.docexport.com/template/customization/format-numbers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
