Device parameter Type Change


Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out a way to take all my lighting device parameters that have their types set to text and have them act as numbers. I am specifically attempting to do this for the weight parameter.

I have a truck pack file that I want to be able to drop a grouping of fixtures in and actually account for that weight in my report. However with it currently viewing weight as a text parameter I am not able to do this.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?

If you are working in a worksheet use the VALUE() function if the weight is only a number.

=VALUE('Lighting Device'.'Weight')

Once you do this you will not be able to edit the weights in the worksheet but you will be able to SUM() to get a total.
