Cannot add measurement unit to length property

qingdom — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 16:10:36 GMT

Hi,

I have created an expression for the zone stamp to show the elevation, but it misses two things:

1. I try to add a + sign in front of the number to show it is upper than zero (and it is not showing on the stamp)

2. I try to add to show CM at the end of the number but it says syntax error.

How can i show these two on the zone stamp?

Thanks

Hi Qingdom,

Try like this with string data type: CONCAT ( "+"; STRCALCUNIT ( {Property} ) ;"CM")

Still not working, it gives syntax error in expression.

Did you change the data type and did you paste the property (bottom elevation to project zero)?

You have to remove the brackets { }.

I will do like this

"Sorry in french"

IF ( {Property:Paramètres généraux/Altitude inférieure à Zéro du projet} > 0 cm; CONCAT ( "+"; STRCALCUNIT ( {Property:Paramètres généraux/Altitude inférieure à Zéro du projet} ); " cm" ); CONCAT ( STRCALCUNIT ( {Property:Paramètres généraux/Altitude inférieure à Zéro du projet} ); " cm" ) )

You are in String data type !

If you start mess with IF, maybe you want to add a "-" sign as well.

IF ( {Property:Paramètres généraux/Altitude inférieure à Zéro du projet} > 0 cm; CONCAT ( "+"; STRCALCUNIT ( {Property:Paramètres généraux/Altitude inférieure à Zéro du projet} ); " cm" ); CONCAT ( "-";STRCALCUNIT ( {Property:Paramètres généraux/Altitude inférieure à Zéro du projet} ); " cm" ) )

Yes it is string, I tried in length and still the same error result. What should i choose?

it is not necessary the sign "-" is automatic
