I can not find this option. Is it impossible?

Hello,

The easiest way is to convert the float to a string and then print the string.

for example this would convert the float to a string with 2 decimal places.

StrVar = FloatToString$(FloatVar, 2)

Most if not all the LCD components should now have the PrintFloat macro, you might need to do a Help -> Library update and do a full component update to make sure you've got the latest versions of the LCD components.

If not then which specific component are you using and we can look into adding the function.

Nothing happen. I use component HD47780 via I2C converter with IC PCF8574
