Mix numbers and strings in same column












1















I have a table that has both numbers and strings in one column. How can I use pgfplotstable to display them both?



Of course, one way would be to simple delete the strings:



documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{pgfplots}
pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}
usepackage{pgfplotstable}

begin{document}

pgfplotstabletypeset[
columns/Iterations/.style={string replace={DIVERGED}{}}]
{
Iterations
1421
DIVERGED
5362
}

end{document}


But what I really want is to use the neat number formatting capabilities of pgfplots together with displaying the string DIVERGED at certain rows, as shown above.



Thanks!
