							|  |  |  | As explained in ["Number Formats"](/docs/csf/features/nf), modern spreadsheet | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | file formats separate "content" from "presentation". Instead of storing a | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | formatted value like `$3.50`, applications will store the underlying value | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | (`3.50`) and the number format (`$0.00`). Parsers are expected to render values. |

										 |  |  | The SheetJS `SSF` ("SpreadSheet Format") library formats numbers according | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2023-10-24 06:20:57 +00:00
										 |  |  | to the number formatting rules defined in Excel and other spreadsheet software[^1] | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | A version of the library ships with the main file processing library. It is | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | deeply integrated in SheetJS CE API functions including `read`[^2], `write`[^3], | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | and `sheet_to_json`[^4]. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | The library is also available for standalone use on the SheetJS CDN[^5]. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | The source code and project documentation is hosted on the SheetJS git server at | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <https://git.sheetjs.com/sheetjs/sheetjs/src/branch/master/packages/ssf> |

										 |  |  | ## Live Demo
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | The formatted text is calculated from the specified number format and value. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Please [report an issue](https://git.sheetjs.com/sheetjs/sheetjs/issues) if a | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | particular format is not supported. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ```jsx live | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | function SheetJSSSF() { | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   const [fmt, setFmt] = React.useState("#,##0"); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   const [val, setVal] = React.useState(7262); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   const format = (fmt, val) => { try { | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     return XLSX.SSF.format(fmt, val); | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   } catch(e) { return "ERROR: " + (e && e.message || e); } }; | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   return ( <table> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     <tr><td><b>Number Format</b></td><td> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |       <input type="text" value={fmt} onChange={e => setFmt(e.target.value)}/> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     </td></tr> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     <tr><td><b>Number Value</b></td><td> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |       <input type="text" value={val} onChange={e => setVal(+e.target.value)}/> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     </td></tr> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     <tr><td colspan="2"></td></tr> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     <tr><td><b>Formatted Text</b></td><td> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |       <code>{format(fmt, val)}</code> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     </td></tr> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   </table> ); |
