Question

Keeping Units in their original form during calculations.

Hi everyone, I'm a new user and having difficulties calculating Energy in kWhr and eventually generation cost per kWhr. I realised that MathCad automatically converts the kW into W and hr into s. How do I get this sorted?

Yes!

But MathCad converts time to s and Power in kW to W before results.

Have a look at the attached worksheet.

You can change what units are displayed by clicking:-

Tools/Worksheet Options/Unit Systems/Custom.

The variables in the attached are shown in your required unit format, but the result will have be to manually changed as it is not a Based or Derived Mathcad unit.
