 ### B. FORMAT with custom formatting strings
 
  The following example shows formatting numeric values by specifying a custom format. The example assumes that the current date is September 27, 2012. For more information about these and other custom formats, see [Custom Numeric Format Strings](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/0c899ak8.aspx).  
 
 ```sql  
-DECLARE @d DATETIME = GETDATE();  
-SELECT FORMAT( @d, 'dd/MM/yyyy', 'en-US' ) AS 'DateTime Result'  
-       ,FORMAT(123456789,'###-##-####') AS 'Custom Number Result';

 ### C. FORMAT with numeric types
 
  The following example returns 5 rows from the **Sales.CurrencyRate** table in the [!INCLUDE[ssSampleDBnormal](../../includes/sssampledbnormal-md.md)] database. The column **EndOfDateRate** is stored as type **money** in the table. In this example, the column is returned unformatted and then formatted by specifying the .NET Number format, General format, and Currency format types. For more information about these and other numeric formats, see [Standard Numeric Format Strings](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dwhawy9k.aspx).
