# Handsontable

a minimalistic Excel-like data grid editor for HTML, JavaScript & jQuery

## Numeric cell type

By default, Handsontable treats all cell values as `string` type. This is because `<textarea>` returns a string as its value.

In many cases you will prefer cell values to be treated as `number` type. This allows to format numbers nicely and sort them correctly.

To trigger the Numeric cell type, use the option `type: 'numeric'` in `columns` array or `cells` function.

Numeric cell type uses Numeral.js as the formatting library. Head over to their website to learn about the formatting syntax.

To use number formatting style valid for your language (i18n), load language definition to Numeral.js. See "Languages" section in Numeral.js docs for more info.
