Summary
Fixes https:/SigNoz/engineering-pod/issues/1687
The formula result can be +/-Inf when the denominator value is zero. It can be Nan if one of the values involved in expression is Nan. Even if we send them back to the client, it doesn't know what to do with these values. For example, in time series it incorrectly shows them as random numbers. In tables, it's not desirable for end users to see Nan or +Inf. The same reasons apply to other panel types. The best thing to do for now is to skip them from the result. I will let the real-world use cases come when it's required to include these in the result.
