# Formatting drivers
> Drivers in Runway can be formatted to display values exactly as you expect. This guide provides an overview of the different types of formatting and available options.
There are **three types of formatting** that can be applied to drivers:
1. **Global formatting** → Applies to **all drivers** across Runway.
2. **Data formatting** → Controls how **a specific driver's values** are displayed (e.g., number format, date format, precision, currency).
3. **Display formatting** → Controls how **a specific driver appears** in **driver table blocks** (e.g., color, text style, name format).
## Global formatting
Global formatting settings apply to **all drivers** in Runway across **every page**. These settings can be found in **Settings → General** and control the following defaults:
* **Currency format** → Set to **USD** by default, but can be changed globally if desired.
* **Negative number display** → Defaults to using a **negative sign** (e.g., `-1000`), but can be switched to **parentheses** (e.g., `(1000)`).
* **Number precision** → Defaults to using **up to two decimal places** for values that include decimals.
These settings ensure consistency across all drivers while allowing customization as needed.
## Data formatting
Data formatting determines how a **specific driver's values** (numbers or dates) appear across all tables, including both **driver tables** and **database tables**.
To adjust data formatting, **right-click** on a numeric driver in a table and use the options shown. Note as well that you can format in bulk too as needed:
* **Format** — Drivers can be formatted as:
* **Automatic** → Attempts to infer the best display format based on the driver’s formula. (e.g., If an input is a percentage, the result will also be formatted as a percentage.)
* **Currency** → Displays values in the selected currency.
* **Number** → Shows numbers with decimal precision.
* **Integer** → Displays whole numbers only (no decimals).
* **Percentage** → Formats the value as a percentage.
* **Currency** — Currency options only appear once you first set the driver format to **Currency**. Until then, the currency dropdown will be hidden. When a driver has been set to the currency format, an additional setting will appear per the screenshot below. Options for currencies at present include:
* **US Dollars (USD)**
* **Australian Dollars (AUD)**
* **Canadian Dollars (CAD)**
* **Euros (EUR)**
* **British Pounds (GBP)**
* **Indian Rupees (INR)**
* **Japanese Yen (JPY)**
* **New Zealand Dollars (NZD)**
* **Precision** → can set numeric drivers to display between **0 and 5 decimal places** for better control over rounding and accuracy.
## Display formatting
The display formatting of a driver applies **globally** across all **driver table blocks**, ensuring consistency wherever the driver appears. However, these settings **do not affect databases**.
The following options control how drivers are visually presented:
* **Background color** — Changes the driver row’s background color. Options include:
* Default (white)
* Grey
* Green
* Yellow
* Red
* **Text style** — Adjusts how the driver name and values are displayed:
* Bold
* Strikethrough
* Underline
* Multiple styles can be applied at once.
* **Indent / Outdent** — Adjusts the indentation of the driver for better organization and readability.
* **Hide driver name, Hide segment, and Segment style** — These options apply to **drivers with dimensions**. You can read more [about dimensions here](https://docs.runway.com/concepts/dimensions/dimensions-basics).
* **Cell-specific styling** — You can also apply **background and text formatting** to **specific month values** within a table. To do this, **right-click a month’s value** and apply the desired style.
Here’s an overview of the available formatting options, categorized as above, as they appear in a driver table:
