Does this do what you want?
%\TracingFormats=1 \starttable[|b{\digits}r|] \NC 1.@@ \NC \AR \NC 1.1@ \NC \AR \NC 1.11 \NC \AR \NC 11.11 \NC \AR \stoptable

Hi Aditya, Thank you for this solution. I saw it on the wiki before I sent my first e-mail: it is actually less powerful than a \NN command, as it applies to the whole column, whereas \NN can apply to a single cell. (See the example below) My current solution is to define a new command \define\NN{\NC\digits} It (apparently) does not clash with the \NN command in tabulate, but it seems like a dangerous hack. What is your opinion? Thanks for your time! Morgan \setdigitmode 2 \define\NN{\NC\digits} \starttext \starttabulate[|r|] \NN 1.@@ \AR \NN 1.11 \AR \NC hello \AR \stoptabulate \starttable[|r|] \NN 1.@@ \AR \NN 1.11 \AR \NC hello \AR \stoptable \starttable[|b{\digits}r|] \NC 1.@@ \AR \NC 1.11 \AR \NC hello \AR \stoptable \stoptext
