# Number Format Codes

Number format codes can consist of up to four sections separated by a semicolon (;).

1. In a number format code with two sections, the first section applies to positive values and zero, and the second section applies to negative values.

2. In a number format code with three sections, the first section applies to positive values, the second section to negative values, and the third section to the value zero.

3. You can also assign conditions to the three sections, so that the format is only applied if a condition is met.

4. Fourth section applies if the content is not a value, but some text. Content is represented by an at sign (@).

## Decimal Places and Significant Digits

Use zero (0), the number sign (#) or the question mark (?) as placeholders in your number format code to represent numbers. The # only displays significant digits, while the 0 displays zeroes if there are fewer digits in the number than in the number format. The ? works as the # but adds a space character to keep decimal alignment if there is a hidden non-significant zero.

Use question marks (?), zeroes (0) or number signs (#) to represent the number of digits to include in the numerator and the denominator of a fraction. Fractions that do not fit the pattern that you define are displayed as floating point numbers.

If a number contains more digits to the right of the decimal delimiter than there are placeholders in the format, the number is rounded accordingly. If a number contains more digits to the left of the decimal delimiter than there are placeholders in the format, the entire number is displayed. Use the following list as a guide for using placeholders when you create a number format code:

Placeholders | Explanation
--- | ---
# | Does not display extra zeros.
? | Displays space characters instead of extra zeros.
0 (Zero) | Displays extra zeros if the number has less places than zeros in the format.

### Exempel

Number Format | Format Code
--- | ---
3456.78 as 3456.8 | ####.#
9.9 as 9.900 | #.000
13 as 13.0 and 1234.567 as 1234.57 | #.0#
5.75 as 5 3/4 and 6.3 as 6 3/10 | # ???/???
.5 as 0.5 | 0.##
.5 as 0.5 (with two extra spaces at the end) | 0.???

### Thousands Separator

Depending on your language setting, you can use a comma, a period or a blank as a thousands separator. You can also use the separator to reduce the size of the number that is displayed by a multiple of 1000 for each separator. The examples below use comma as thousands separator:

Number Format | Format Code
--- | ---
15000 as 15,000 | #,###
16000 as 16 | #,

## Including Text in Number Format Codes

### Text and Numbers

To include text in a number format that is applied to a cell containing numbers, place a double quotation mark (") in front of and behind the text, or a backslash (\) before a single character. For example, enter #.# "meters" to display "3.5 meters" or #.# \m to display "3.5 m". If you use space as thousands separator, you need to insert spaces between quotes in the previous examples: #.#" meters" or #.#\ \m to get the correct result.

### Text and Text

To include text in a number format that is applied to a cell that might contain text, enclose the text by double quotation marks (" "), and then add an at sign (@). For example, enter "Total for "@ to display "Total for December".

### Spaces

To use a character to define the width of a space in a number format, type an underscore (_) followed by the character. The width of the space varies according to the width of the character that you choose. For example, _M creates a wider space than _i.

To fill free space with a given character, use an asterisk (*) followed by this character. For instance:

*\0

will display integer value (0) preceded by as many as needed backslash characters (\) to fill column width. For accounting representation, you may left align currency symbol with a format similar to:

$_-* 0.--;$-* 0.--;$_-* -

## Color

To set the color of a section of a number format code, insert one of the following color names in square brackets [ ]:

CYAN | GREEN
BLACK | BLUE
MAGENTA | RED
WHITE | YELLOW

## Conditions

### Conditional Brackets

You can define a number format so that it only applies when the condition that you specify is met. Conditions are enclosed by square brackets [ ].

You can use any combination of numbers and the <, <=, >, >=, = and <> operators.

For example, if you want to apply different colors to different temperature data, enter:

[BLUE][<0]#.0 "°C";[RED][>30]#.0 "°C";[BLACK]#.0 "°C"

All temperatures below zero are blue, temperatures between 0 and 30 °C are black, and temperatures higher than 30 °C are red.

### Positive and Negative Numbers

To define a number format that adds a different text to a number depending on if the number is positive, negative, or equal to zero, use the following format:

"plus" 0;"minus" 0;"null" 0

## Percentages, Scientific Notation and Fraction Representation

### Percentages

To display numbers as percentages, add the percent sign (%) to the number format.

### Scientific Notation

Scientific notation lets you write very large numbers or very small fractions in a compact form. For example, in scientific notation, 650000 is written as 6.5 x 105, and 0.000065 as 6.5 x 10-5. In LibreOffice, these numbers are written as 6.5E+5 and 6.5E-5, respectively. To create a number format that displays numbers using scientific notation, enter a # or 0, and then one of the following codes E-, E+, e- or e+. If sign is omitted after E or e, it won't appear for positive value of exponent. To get engineering notation, enter 3 digits (0 or #) in the integer part: ###.##E+00 for instance.

### Fraction Representation

To represent a value as a fraction, format consists of two or three parts: integer optional part, numerator and denominator. Integer and numerator are separated by a blank or any quoted text. Numerator and denominator are separated by a slash character. Each part can consist of a combination of #, ? and 0 as placeholders.

Denominator is calculated to get the nearest value of the fraction with respect to the number of placeholders. For example, PI value is represented as 3 16/113 with format:

# ?/???

Denominator value can also be forced to the value replacing placeholders. For example, to get PI value as a multiple of 1/16th (i.e. 50/16), use format:

?/16

## Number Format Codes of Currency Formats

The default currency format for the cells in your spreadsheet is determined by the regional setting of your operating system. If you want, you can apply a custom currency symbol to a cell. For example, enter #,##0.00 € to display 4.50 € (Euros).

You can also specify the locale setting for the currency by entering the locale code for the country after the symbol. For example, [$€-407] represents Euros in Germany. To view the locale code for a country, select the country in the Language list on the Numbers tab of the Format Cells dialog.

Formatkoden för valutor använder formatet [$xxx-nnn], där xxx är valutasymbol och nnn är en landskod. Särskilda banksymboler, till exempel EUR (för Euro) behöver ingen landskod. Valutaformatet är inte beroende av vilket språk du väljer i rutan Språk.

## Date and Time Formats

Microsoft Excel wrongly assumes year 1900 to be a leap year and considers the inexistent day of 1900-02-29 as valid in date calculations. Dates prior to 1900-03-01 are therefore different in Excel and Calc.

### Date Formats

To display days, months and years, use the following number format codes.

Alla formatkoder ger dock inte meningsfulla resultat för alla språk.

Format | Format Code
--- | ---
Month as 3. | M
Month as 03. | MM
Month as Jan-Dec | MMM
Month as January-December | MMMM
First letter of Name of Month | MMMMM
Day as 2 | D
Day as 02 | DD
Day as Sun-Sat | NN or DDD or AAA
Day as Sunday to Saturday | NNN or DDDD or AAAA
Day followed by comma, as in "Sunday," | NNNN
Year as 00-99 | YY
Year as 1900-2078 | YYYY
Calendar week | WW
Quarterly as Q1 to Q4 | Q
Quarterly as 1st quarter to 4th quarter | QQ
Era, abbreviation. On the Japanese Gengou calendar, single character (possible values are: M, T, S, H) | G
Era, abbreviation | GG
Era, full name | GGG
Number of the year within an era, short format | E
Number of the year within an era, long format | EE or R
Era, full name and year | RR or GGGEE

The above listed formatting codes work with your language version of LibreOffice. However, when you need to switch the locale of LibreOffice to another locale, you need to know the formatting codes used in that other locale.

Om din mjukvara till exempel är inställ på engelska och du vill formatera ett år med fyra siffror anger du YYYY som en formateringskod. När du växlar till tyska måste du använda JJJJ istället. Följande tabell listar endast de regionala skillnaderna.

Språkvariant | År | Månad | Dag | Timme | Veckodag | Epok
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
English - en och alla ej listade språkvarianter | Y | M | D | H | A | G
tyska - de | J |  | T |  |  |
nederländska – nl | J |  |  | U |  |
franska - fr | A |  | J |  | O |
italienska - it | A |  | G |  | O | X
portugisiska - pt | A |  |  |  | O |
spanska - es | A |  |  |  | O |
danska - da |  |  |  | T |  |
norska - no, nb, nn |  |  |  | T |  |
svenska - sv |  |  |  | T |  |
finnska - fi | V | K | P | T |  |

### Entering Dates

To enter a date in a cell, use the Gregorian calendar format. For example, in an English locale, enter 1/2/2002 for Jan 2, 2002.

All date formats are dependent on the locale that is set in LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - Languages and Locales - General. For example, if your locale is set to 'Japanese', then the Gengou calendar is used. The default date format in LibreOffice uses the Gregorian Calendar.

To specify a calendar format that is independent of the locale, add a modifier in front of the date format. For example, to display a date using the Jewish calendar format in a non-Hebrew locale, enter: [~jewish]DD/MM/YYYY.

The specified calendar is exported to Microsoft Excel using extended LCID. Extended LCID can also be used in the format string. It will be converted to a calendar modifier if it is supported. See Extended LCID section below.

Modifier | Calendar
--- | ---
[~buddhist] | Thai Buddhist Calendar
[~gengou] | Japanese Gengou Calendar
[~gregorian] | Gregorian Calendar
[~hanja] or [~hanja_yoil] | Korean Calendar
[~hijri] | Arabic Islamic Calendar
[~jewish] | Jewish Calendar
[~ROC] | Republic Of China Calendar

If you perform a calculation that involves one or more cells using a date format, the result is formatted according to the following mappings:

Initial Format | Result Format
--- | ---
Date + Date | Number (Days)
Date + Number | Date
Date + Time | Date&Time
Date + Date&Time | Number
Time + Time | Time
Time + Number | Time
Time + Date&Time | Date&Time
Date&Time + Date&Time | Time
Date&Time + Number | Date&Time
Number + Number | Number

The Date & Time format displays the date and time that an entry was made to a cell with this format.

In LibreOffice, years are indicated by four digits, so that the difference between 1/1/99 and 1/1/01 is two years. This Year (two digits) setting allows the user to define the years in which two-digit dates are added to 2000. To illustrate, if you specify a date of 1930 or later, the entry "1/1/20" is recognized as 2020-01-01 instead of 1920-01-01.

By default in LibreOffice, a date with the value "0" corresponds to Dec 30, 1899.

### Time Formats

To display hours, minutes and seconds use the following number format codes:

Format | Format Code
--- | ---
Hours as 0-23 | H
Hours as 00-23 | HH
Hours as 00 up to more than 23 | [HH]
Minutes as 0-59 | M
Minutes as 00-59 | MM
Minutes as 00 up to more than 59 | [MM]
Seconds as 0-59 | S
Seconds as 00-59 | SS
Seconds as 00 up to more than 59 | [SS]

To display seconds as fractions, add the decimal delimiter to your number format code. For example, enter HH:MM:SS.00 to display the time as "01:02:03.45".

Minute time formats M and MM must be used in combination with hour or second time formats to avoid confusion with month date format.

If a time is entered in the form 02:03.45 or 01:02:03.45 or 25:01:02, the following formats are assigned if no other time format has been specified: MM:SS.00 or [HH]:MM:SS.00 or [HH]:MM:SS

The time can be suffixed with AM/PM to have hours in 0-12 AM/PM format.

## Displaying Numbers Using Native Characters

## NatNum modifiers

To display numbers using native number characters, use a [NatNum1], [NatNum2], ..., [NatNum11] modifier at the beginning of a number format codes.

To spell out numbers in various number, currency and date formats, use a [NatNum12] modifier with the chosen arguments at the beginning of a number format code. See NatNum12 section below.

The [NatNum1] modifier always uses a one to one character mapping to convert numbers to a string that matches the native number format code of the corresponding locale. The other modifiers produce different results if they are used with different locales. A locale can be the language and the territory for which the format code is defined, or a modifier such as [$-yyy] that follows the native number modifier. In this case, yyy is the hexadecimal MS-LCID that is also used in currency format codes. For example, to display a number using Japanese short Kanji characters in an English US locale, use the following number format code:

[NatNum1][$-411]0

In the following list, the Microsoft Excel [DBNumX] modifier that corresponds to LibreOffice [NatNum] modifier is shown. If you want, you can use a [DBNumX] modifier instead of [NatNum] modifier for your locale. Whenever possible, LibreOffice internally maps [DBNumX] modifiers to [NatNumN] modifiers.

Om du visar datum med hjälp av [NatNum]-modifierare kan andra typer av tal visas. Sådana effekter anges med "CAL: '. Till exempel "CAL: 1/4/4" anger att året visas med hjälp av [NatNum1]-modifieraren, medan dag och månad visas med hjälp av [NatNum4]-modifieraren. Om "CAL" inte anges, stöds inte datumformatet för den specifika modifieraren.

[NatNum0]

Try to convert any native number string to ASCII Arabic digits. If already ASCII, it remains ASCII.

### Extended LCID

If compatible, native numbering and calendar are exported to Microsoft Excel using extended LCID. Extended LCID can also be used in string format instead of NatNum modifier.

Extended LCID consists of 8 hexadecimal digits: [$-NNCCLLLL], with 2 first digits NN for native numerals, CC for calendar and LLLL for LCID code. For instance, [$-0D0741E] will be converted to [NatNum1][$-41E][~buddhist]: Thai numerals (0D) with Buddhist calendar (07) in Thai locale (041E).

## NatNum12 modifier

To spell out numbers in various number, currency and date formats, use a [NatNum12] modifier with the chosen arguments at the beginning of a number format code.

Common NatNum12 formatting examples

Formatting code | Explanation
--- | ---
[NatNum12] | Spell out as cardinal number: 1 → one
[NatNum12 ordinal] | Spell out as ordinal number: 1 → first
[NatNum12 ordinal-number] | Spell out as ordinal indicator: 1 → 1st
[NatNum12 capitalize] | Spell out with capitalization, as cardinal number: 1 → One
[NatNum12 upper ordinal] | Spell out in upper case, as ordinal number: 1 → FIRST
[NatNum12 title] | Spell out in title case, as cardinal number: 101 → Hundred One
[NatNum12 USD] | Spell out as a money amount of a given currency specified by 3-letter ISO code: 1 → one U.S. dollar
[NatNum12 D=ordinal-number]D" of "MMMM | Spell out as a date in format "1st of May"
[NatNum12 YYYY=title year,D=capitalize ordinal]D" of "MMMM, YYYY | Spell out as a date in format "First of May, Nineteen Ninety-nine"
[NatNum12 MMM=upper]MMM-DD | Display upper case abbreviated month name in format "JAN-01"
[NatNum12 MMMM=lower]MMMM | Display lower case month name in format "january"

Other possible arguments: "money" before 3-letter currency codes, for example [NatNum12 capitalize money USD]0.00 will format number "1.99" as "One and 99/100 U.S. Dollars".

## Error Codes

If the value is outside the limits for the selected format the following error code is shown:
