make units accessible for users

[pmayd]

Each "Merkmal" must have a unit. Can we make the unit accessible for the user? What is the best way?

[PiaSchroeder]

In some tables (e.g. 1000A-1001), value columns contain alternating data entries with different units (in this case counts and percentages) that are resolved in another column (value_units). This column is currently removed by prettify_table, such that the value column becomes essentially unusable.
ToDo: Split the value column into two columns, each with a label indicating the unit.

Not sure if this is helpful, but pint (GitHub, ReadTheDocs) is an excellent Python library for handling units. It also comes with an integration into pandas. Custom units can easily be defined as necessary.
