# Formatting

Passing the `value_format_name` parameter to your [field](https://docs.zenlytic.com/data-modeling/field) lets you easily format values in a way that's easy to read for business users.

## Options

There are several options. Broadly speaking, there is a format type followed by a number of decimal places. For example, `decimal_1` formats the number like a decimal and rounds to one decimal place.
