Converting g OR oz to ONE result feild.

[Ryszard Gold]

I am doing up a simple product database for a cleint that is selling cofee. He gets his products in grams and ounces, but need to feed it into a single feild so a further calculation can be run to calculate costs per pot and per cup.

I would like to be able to the amount of the weight in, then select the type of weight (oz or g) then have it auto calculate that into lbs, but the key is that the result is to end up in the same feild.

The calculations are easy, but setting it up to use one calculation when oz is selected, and another when g are used is what I'm having trouble with!

Please help!

How about something like:

Amount * Case (

Units = "g" ; 0.00220462262 ;

Units = "oz" ; 0.0625

)

Thanks! I'm assuming I'll just introduce a "weights_unit" feild, then I'll place that statement in the feild where my exsisting lbs calculation is.

I'll try it out!

Uhm, don't you have one already? How else would you "select the type of weight (oz or g)"?

This was a change to an exsisting system, the client ended up wanting to be able to have multiple types of weights, so this was something I had to introduce. I'm going to try and implement this now!

This worked great, thanks! I also included changes for other measures as well!
