Write thousand lines of code and then decided that it is doesn't working. I'm not surprised. Be sure, that you able to print byte variable first.
 

No, the MAX7219 is not related to LCD. I am using LCD just to see adc value on LCD. I am sending the same float value (adc value) to MAX7219 Display function but the decimal points seems to flicker. Here is my new code.

Do it occurs at numbers near to an integer value, such as all digits after dot point being zero ?
 

I don't know that. The strange thing is that the value after the decimal point never changes even though they change on LCD. I am printing ADC value on LCD and 7 Segment.
