  4. tap the number format you wish to apply:
    • General format General - is used to display the data you enter as plain numbers in the most compact way without any additional signs,
    • Number format Number - is used to display the numbers with 0-30 digits after the decimal point where a thousand separator is added between each group of three digits before the decimal point,
    • Integer format Integer - is used to display the numbers as an integer,
    • Scientific format Scientific (exponential) - is used to keep short the numbers converting in a string of type d.dddE+ddd or d.dddE-ddd where each d is a digit 0 to 9,
    • Accounting format Accounting - is used to display monetary values with one of the following currency symbols: Dollar $, Euro , Pound £, Rouble , Yen ¥, and two decimal places.

Unlike the Currency format, the Accounting format aligns currency symbols by the left side of the cell, represents zero values as dashes and displays negative values in parentheses.
