# Dynamically Populating Label Parameters

Output and update labels using the `format()` expression function.

You can provide a string with placeholders, which are replaced by the substitution values at runtime.

Add as many parameters as you need. The parameters are numbered and are zero-based. For example, if you have three parameters, they will be named `{0}`, `{1}`, and `{2}`, and they will be substituted in the order they're specified.

Let's look at a custom label, `$Label.mySection.myLabel`, with a value of `Hello {0} and {1}`, where `$Label` is the global value provider that accesses your labels.

This expression dynamically populates the placeholder parameters with the values of the supplied attributes.

```nolang
{!format($Label.mySection.myLabel, v.attribute1, v.attribute2)}
```

The label is automatically refreshed if one of the attribute values changes.

**note:** Always use the `$Label` global value provider to reference a label with placeholder parameters. You can't set a string with placeholder parameters as the first argument for `format()`. For example, this syntax doesn't work:

```nolang
{!format('Hello {0}', v.name)}
```

Use this expression instead.

```nolang
{!format($Label.mySection.salutation, v.name)}
```

where `$Label.mySection.salutation` is set to `Hello {0}`.
