# 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**
