# Values

The value(s) that your check condition is evaluated against can be one of three types as listed below.

It's important to note that when evaluating your checks we use the raw value from the spreadsheet, without any formatting applied. For example if you have a cell with a price in that you have formatted as a currency when entering the value you should not include this formatting, just the raw numeric value.

## Text

Any piece of text.

* **Example**: banana
* **Example**: multiple words

## Number

Any integer or decimal.

* **Example**: 5
* **Example**: 9.99

## Range

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.checksheet.app/concepts/values.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
