Format to Without Space Between Number and Unit

[paul_a_cardinale]

The following yields "123m V" but I need "123mV".  Is there a format specifier option that will inhibit the space between the number and the unit?

"Interesting" behaviour…

(I stopped using units more than 10 years ago.)

Not that I know of.

You could strip the unit before the FormatIntoString function and include the "V" in the format string. Then you would get "123mV"…

Btw. the ISO standard for creating text with "values with physical units" requires a space between value and unit ("123 mV"). See this (item #15)! (I typically use a nbsp in text editors…)

I remember submitting a related bug 10-15 years ago. I would have to dig around to see if I still have the scenario.

To your exact scenario, I just don't use units.

This is what I used in multiple situations and swear by.

This only works well without units on the value. (One of the reasons I never use units!)

The  problem is that the OP uses units on the constant.

If units are used, you can use the following format for an SI formatted value

%_3{V}p

That moves the space, but doesn't eliminate it.  Also, it only works if the physical quantity is voltage; doesn't work for other physical quantities.
