🔠 How can I format numbers – e.g., with thousand separators or decimal places?

Use the [formatnumber] function to flexibly format numbers in ChiliDocs — including decimals, separators, and optional currency symbols.

In many use cases, numbers should not be displayed raw, but formatted — for example with custom thousand separators, a specific number of decimal places, or even a currency symbol. With the formatnumber function identifier, you can now flexibly format numbers directly in ChiliDocs Word templates.

Example with a numeric field from a deal:

[deal.amount(formatnumber:d=2;ds=,;ts=.;c=true)]

Parameter Overview

💡 Tip: If you prefer more descriptive parameter names, you can also use these long-form equivalents:

Example using long-form parameters:

[deal.amount(formatnumber:decimals=2;decimalSeparator=,;thousandSeparator=.;currency=true)]

Output Examples

Input value: 32599.5, currency: EUR

Notes

• Parameters can be specified in any order, separated by semicolons ;.

• If no d value is set, the original decimal format will be preserved.

• The currency symbol will only be shown if c=true (or currency=true) is used.

• The currency code is automatically pulled from context (e.g., deal, line item, or account), similar to format:currency.

Default Behavior (if nothing is specified)

This allows you to format amounts, numeric fields, or percentages exactly the way your audience or regional standard requires — all from within your Word template.
