Numeric result

Updated 2026-09-02

The Numeric result block shows a single calculated number in your project's output area — the most common way to display a price, total, score, or any figure your formula produces.

When to use it

Use a Numeric result whenever you want to surface one value from your spreadsheet: a monthly payment, a projected total, a percentage, and so on. The block reads its value from a formula cell you assign, then formats and displays it.

Add the block

  1. In the editor, open the Output tab (the results side of your project).
  2. Click + Add and choose Numeric.
  3. Select the new block to open its settings on the right.

Assign the formula cell

The Numeric result is empty until you point it at a cell in your spreadsheet.

  1. In the block's settings, find the Formula group.
  2. Click the cell box (it reads No cell assigned).
  3. The spreadsheet enters assign mode — click the cell that holds the value you want to show.

Once a cell is bound, the box displays its reference (for example D1) and the button changes to Change so you can re-point it later. See Assigning cells to result blocks for more on how results connect to your spreadsheet.

Format the value

In the Display group:

  • Display as — choose Number, Currency, or %. Picking Currency also reveals a currency picker so you can set the symbol (USD, EUR, and so on).
  • Decimal places — how many digits appear after the decimal point. With Currency, Numio keeps this at 0 or 2 (whole units or cents). See Number formats.

Label

In the General group, set the Title — the label shown next to the value. Edit it inline on the block or in settings. You can also click + Add description and + Add hover hint here.

Style

The collapsed Style group at the bottom of the panel holds everything cosmetic. A small dot on the heading tells you something in there is off its default.

  • Label sizeSmall, Medium, or Large.
  • Label weightRegular or Bold.
  • Block background — fill color behind the block.
  • Label & Value color — sets the text color for both the label and the number.
  • Spacing — top and bottom padding in pixels.

See Common block settings.

Primary view

The Display group includes a Primary view toggle. When on, the block is rendered as a large, stacked headline value (number on its own line, label above it) rather than the compact label-left / value-right row. Use Primary view for the single most important result in your output.
