Hi there,

 

I am showing an information in the value display and this information is referent the weight where I use the unit "ton" (tonne). Like the image below:

To do it I used two value display, one to bind my value and other to write the unit (ton). Follow image below:

My question is: Is there any way to insert in the same value display the value and the unit? I have ever searched in the properties from value display and I did not find nothing about it.

 

Regards,

Leonardo.

You can use an Expression function, get your numeric input and the Unit together in one String, and then send the new result to the Value Display.

I've always just used the label next to the value display.

You can always make the background and line transparent and then overlay that over a box so it looks like a single display.

Hi @PaiChung 

 

Thanks for your answer.

 

I do it too, but I would like to find some way to configure it in the same value display.

 

If I do not find other solution I will keep it.

True, but for the 10 Expressions, they are having the similar script so it's easy to create and don't cost much resource as well.

 

Another solution is to use the Collection widget (previously called Repeater ).  By repeating the same mashup according to the rows of the infotable input, you only need to configure 1 ValueDisplay+Label or 1 ValueDisplay+Expression for the design.
