Hi @Mohammed_Alquraini, and welcome to the Losant Forums.

From our [documentation on the `{{format}}` helper](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/accessing-payload-data/#format-helpers):

> `{{format val formatStr}}` :  
> If `val` is a **number** , returns the number in the [D3 format](https://github.com/d3/d3-format#locale_format) matching the `formatStr` parameter (default ‘,.6’). When used in a dashboard, this will use the current browser locale when formatting.

So, you should be able to get what you’re after with the following helper:

```auto
{{format value ',.2f'}}

```

You can use our in-app template tester to try this yourself and also to check other d3 format strings:
