Battery Voltages and Currents

What I would like is for those 'nan' strings to be just a '-' or
something similar.
The simplest thing is probably just a function writing it how you want
it:
def float_s(f):
if isnan(f):
return "-"
return str(f)
and then use eg:
print(f'value is {float_s(value)}')
or whatever fits your code.
Except he's obviously using some sort of formatting to control the
number of columns and decimal places, so 'str(f)' is not going to cut
it. Is the basic floating point number formatting functionality seen
when using f-strings or '%' operator part of the float type or is it
part of the f-string and % operator?
It's part of the PSL's string library: "Format Specification
Mini-Language"
https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language
Has the OP stated if we're talking 'Python' or numpy, pandas, ...?
