Numeric result

Updated 2026-06-22

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, switch to the Output view (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 a formula cell to a result for more on how results connect to your spreadsheet.

Format the value

In the Display group:

  • Number Format — choose Number, Currency, or Percentage. Picking Currency also reveals a currency selector so you can set the symbol (USD, EUR, and so on).
  • Decimal places — control how many digits appear after the decimal point. Selecting Currency defaults this to one decimal place.

Label, colors, and size

In the General group:

  • Title — the label shown next to the value. Edit it inline on the block or in settings.
  • 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.

You can also add a Description and a Tooltip from the General settings, and adjust Block Spacing (top and bottom padding).

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.
