Steven Morgan Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I am trying to get the total weight of a distributed load in a worksheet. It shows 500 lbs in my OIP but when I use: ='BrxDistributedWeight'.'TotalWeight' and ='BrxDistributedWeight'.'DistWeight' I get some odd figures that are not close to 500 lbs. Am I missing something? File attached. Thanks! Total Weight.vwx Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 There are two fields for weight, text and numeric. The numeric field is in kg, which are universal mass units for VW. The text field displays the weight in document units. Quote Link to comment
Steven Morgan Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 I figured the 'TotalWeight' was in KG but even that number has the decimal in the wrong place. 500lbs = 226.796 KG However on the worksheet shows 226,796.185 KG. Any ideas on that? Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 You're right — I was recalling from memory. The internal unit is in grams. Quote Link to comment
Steven Morgan Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Ah, guess I should have been able to figure that out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Jacob@tangably.com Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 We encountered this issue this week. When running a report for our point loads we are getting an output in grams. From above, I understand that is the "Numeric value" or Weight as the report header Is there any way to retrieve loads in document units from a report? Quote Link to comment
