# Column Modifiers

Column Modifiers help format your text values from your feed when designing templates. To add a modifier, double-click on the linked layer on the canvas and select **\+ Add Column Modifier** then select from the dropdown the modifier you'd like to add.

|     |     |     |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ## **Modifier** | ## Description | ## Example |
| Uppercase | capitalizes all linked text | Shoes -> SHOES |
| Lowercase | lowercase all linked text | Shoes -> shoes |
| Titlecase | capitalizes the first letter of each word | The perfect running shoe -> The Perfect Running Shoe |
| Numerical | strips all characters except for numbers and decimal places | 99.95 USD -> 99.95 |
| Add | outputs the addition of the number by an input value* | 99 Add [10] -> 109 |
| Subtract | outputs the subtraction of the number by an input value* | 99 Subtract [10] -> 89 |
| Multiply | outputs the multiplication of the number by an input value* | 99 Multiply [10] -> 990 |
| Divide | outputs the dividend of the number by an input value* | 99 Divide [3] -> 33 |
| Split Text | returns the text cut down based on the user's input | Women's T-shirt [split by "Women's"] -> T-shirt |
| Decimals | reduces the total amount of decimal places in a value | 2.31134 -> 2.31 |

_*You can use math modifiers with other column values by inputting the column name without double curly brackets._

# Formatting Options for Price

For values like price or sale price, you can customize how they appear in your design.

To adjust how the price appears in your design, double-click the linked price layer on the canvas, open the **Formatting** dropdown, and choose the format that best fits your design.

# Stacking Modifiers

Each modifier you add will run off of the previous modifier's output. You can stack multiple modifiers together to create a formula. Below is an example of stacked modifiers which will output a percent value between price and sale_price:

### _Breakdown_

Say one of your products has a price of **_100_** and your sale_price is **_80_**.

The main column being linked here is `price`. From there, we're subtracting the field `sale_price`: **_100 - 80 = 20_**

Then, we divide the output by the `price` field again: **_20 / 100 = 0.20_**

This gives us a fraction which we'll want to turn into an integer. So we multiply this output by 100: **_0.20 x 100 = 20.00_**

The output will give us a value with two decimals. To strip these, we take this output and set the **decimal** modifier to **0 decimals**. The resulting output for that product will be **_20_**
