+# Value formatter
+
+The Value formatter presents [results of database queries](../../queries) as a single value.
+
+To calculate the single value to be returned, it sums the values of all dimensions.
+
+The Value formatter respects the following API `&options=`:
+
+option|supported|description
+:---:|:---:|:---
+`percent`|yes|to replace all values with their percentage over the row total
+`abs`|yes|to turn all values positive, before using them
+`min2max`|yes|to return the delta from the minimum value to the maximum value (across dimensions)
+
+The Value formatter is not exposed by the API by itself.
+Instead it is used by the [`ssv`](../ssv) formatter
+and [health monitoring queries](../../../../health).
+
