1. How have you used table to show data. Grid? Table bind? How exactly?
2. Whatever you tried you say, you failed because of some error?

If you cannot change the data type to decimal (which would be the preferred solution), you can fetch the string data from a row and then use Decimal.TryParse Method[^].

Now you would have an actual number in your hand and then format it as you like for example using Decimal.ToString Method (String)[^].

Noet: Watch out the decimal separator. If the data is from different culture, you may have to replace the decimal separator used in the data with current cultures decimal separator
