Number Formatting in a Flow | Power Automate

Quite obviously this is one of the most common asks in Flow to format a number. Here are some ways to do so using Format number Action in Flow (Power Automate).

This is available in Format number action in a Flow in Power Automate. This is available in Number Functions connector.
numActions

Commas and Decimals

  1. For a standard simple number, you can simply denote by # and commas or other symbols where needed. Here, I won’t select any locale.
    standardNumberBody
  2. And it would render into this –
    standardNumber

Phone Number

  1. US phone is an example where it is denoted by brackets and dashes in between. I’ll select English (United States) (en-US) in the locale among others. So, my format would be.
    isPhoneBody
  2. And the resultant phone number will be set as below
    usPhone

Currency Input

For currency, this is what I did –

  1. Added ₹ followed by ##,###,###. I’ll select English (India) (en-IN) in the Locale field.
    indCurrencyBody
  2. So even though my number value i.e. (50000) is in thousands and not hundred-thousands as I covered in my format, it’ll consider the correct format used and my output will be – indCurrency

Here’s where you can look at other ways to format numbers –
1. Standard numeric format strings
2. Custom numeric format strings
