Worksheet - Lot Area as a Number


bcd

Recommended Posts

=(('Property Line'.'Area')) returns a non-numeric string. Eg. 31106 sq ft

I want use the numeric value to calculate allowable Lot Coverage as prescribed by the zoning

How can I extract the area as a number?

In this case, the Area is not stored in the Parameter Record as anything but text.

 

BUT, it appears that you can use the =Area function to get the data you need.

 

I only tried this in a database row, but in my test file ='Property Line'.'Area' returned 915.872  sq ft    

 

=Area returned 915.872    

 

 

Sometimes the simple solutions are hardest to see.

 

I created a wish list item for this. Please vote up if you think it is worthwhile.
