# Formats

You can control the format of the NumericTextBox by using the [`format`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/inputs/api/numerictextboxprops#format) property.



It accepts string or \[`NumberFormatOptions`] parameters. When `format` is set and the input element is not focused, the value is formatted accordingly. By default, the format is set to `'n2'`.

> Format cannot contain decimal separators or numbers. Power signs are supported.

For more information on the date and number formats KendoReact supports, refer to the [kendo-intl](https://github.com/telerik/kendo-intl/blob/master/docs/num-formatting/index.md) GitHub repository.
