<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>You can use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Report.Field.Format.html#C1_Report_Field_Format">Format</a> property to customize the way numbers, dates, times, 
and text are displayed and printed.</p>
<p>For example, if you've created a <b>Price</b> field, you can set its <a class="xref" href="C1.Report.Field.Format.html#C1_Report_Field_Format">Format</a> 
property to "Currency". If the field value is set to "4321.678", it would be rendered as $4,321.68.</p>
<p>You can use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Report.Field.Format.html#C1_Report_Field_Format">Format</a> property to format numbers (including currency and percentage 
values), dates, boolean values, and strings.</p>
<p>The syntax for the format string is the same used with the .NET <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string.format#system-string-format(system-string-system-object)">Format(string, object)</a> method.</p>
