Technical Articles > Formatting Text by using Number Formats
Placeholders represent digit positions inside the number to format. Two kind of characters are valid to be used as placeholders: '#' and '0', where the placeholder '0' fills those positions with zeros, if the corresponding position is not reserved by a digit of the calculation’s result value.
