Number Formatting

Currency, percentages, precision, and display options.

The help text below a result tries to auto-format a result (for example, converting large numbers to ‘scaled’ versions).

Note that as scaled, as decimal, as binary are hinted as the way to get that output.

Calc format settings

There’s a few global settings for each calc:

  • Number format — four grouping styles: US (1,234.56), EU (1.234,56), IN (1,23,456.78, Indian lakh/crore grouping), and CH (1'234.56, Swiss apostrophe grouping)
  • Rounding — Auto (detected precision), Whole, or 1, 2, or 3 decimal places

Formatting a result

You can force a result to have a format using as <format>, for example: 1234 as eng.
