A function to calculate and format a mean and standard deviation.
fmt_mean_sd(x, format = "%.1f", sd_format = NULL)The input data vector or data frame column.
A formatting string suitable for input into the
sprintf function. By default, this format is
defined as "%.1f", which displays the mean and standard deviation with
one decimal place.
An optional format for the standard deviation. If this parameter is not supplied, the standard deviation will be formatted the same as the mean, according to the `format` parameter.
The formatted mean and standard deviation.
This function calculates a mean and standard deviation, and formats using

You may control the format using the format parameter.
Function will ignore NA values in the input data. Results are
returned as a character vector.
