Hi, I'm trying to practice using the Find function, and using a workaround with units.


Pls. see attached. The units are working but the answer it found is wrong. "Io" is supposed to be 4.

Some more fun:

1) Change the guess from 1V to 1 kV and watch the solution

2) Change the guess back to 1 V and change the V in Find() to kV and watch Io

3) Don't change the kV and replace the "ohm" in Find() by the upper case greek letter Omega (W followed by Crtr-G) and watch Io to change to 4

Changing ohm to capital omega makes no difference when I try it (MC15 M030).

The same result in F000 and M030 service releases.
