# pandas.set_eng_float_format

pandas.set_eng_float_format(accuracy=3, use_eng_prefix=False)

  Format float representation in DataFrame with SI notation.

  Sets the floating-point display format for `DataFrame` objects using engineering notation (SI units), allowing easier readability of values across wide ranges.

  Parameters:
    accuracy int, default 3

      Number of decimal digits after the floating point.

    use_eng_prefix bool, default False

      Whether to represent a value with SI prefixes.

  Returns:
    None

      This method does not return a value. it updates the global display format for floats in DataFrames.
