Mathcad Prime 3.0 units issue

I created a variable in PSI (lbs/in^2)units, multiplied by a unitlesss number. The issue is that my resultant output "Fr" comes up in other format, I just want it to show as PSI, like in the variable. tried "base unit " but nothing changes, please see pic.Thanks

Did you select "Labels" and designated your new unit as a "Unit"? the unit will turn a bold blue color if succesful.

I hope this helps.

Simply edit the result expression - delete the dislayed unit and replace it by psi. Prime will change the value in front accordingly.

It is because you are passing a variable with units attached to the square root operator. Try removing them before you pass it.
