Standardize formatting to reduce manual edits, eliminate confusion, and enable global-ready workflows across your monday.com boards.

Inconsistent regional formatting is a silent productivity killer—especially when you’re working across countries or departments.

• A date like 05/06/2024 could mean May or June depending on the region.
  
• Decimal separators like commas vs periods can skew financial data.
  
• And manual formatting slows everyone down.
  

Why It Matters

Getting your formatting right isn’t just about data hygiene—it affects collaboration, automations, and decision-making.

This is especially important for businesses:

• With international teams
  
• In regulated industries like finance or healthcare
  
• Relying on automated workflows
