# ACE Analytics About Formatting

The following elements have a **Format** attribute, which can be set to format the appearance of their data:

- Analysis Grid Column
- Crosstab Table Value Column
- Format Font
- Formatted Column
- Gauge Label
- Heat Map Column
- Input Date, Input Text, Input Text Area
- Label
- Mdx Calculated Measure
- Pdf Form Field
- Schedule
- Word Form Field

Format attributes are not always context-sensitive, so it may be possible to select formatting options that are not appropriate for the data. See our document *Classic Chart Label Formatting* for more information about chart title and label formatting techniques for the Classic Charts family to produce special effects such as sub- and super-scripting, mixing fonts and colors, and stacking text.

Many of the formatting types available are drawn from the **Microsoft Visual Basic** predefined format types and are dependent on the **Regional** settings in the web server's operating system.

For example, as shown above, **Regional** and **Language** options are available on Windows-based web servers through the Control Panel. The "Currency", "Short date" and "Long date" formats defined here can be used by name in a Format attribute.
