# Value formatter The Value formatter presents [results of database queries](/web/api/queries/README.md) 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`](/web/api/formatters/ssv/README.md) formatter and [health monitoring queries](/health/README.md).
