Change Unit/Suffix automatic

[victor.back]

grp.create can also update existing objects' properties. But as I've said you won't see this changes in the visualization unless you do a full reload.

Oh did´nt see your reply.
I implemented your script, and it work nice. thanks for the help.

Changing units via grp.create will require UI reload for new units to appear.
You can use string data type instead of floating point for value display:

Code:

value = r1 * 0x1000000000000 + r2 * 0x100000000 + r3 * 0x10000 + r4

if value > 999 then
  units = 'MWh'
  value = value / 1000000
else
  units = 'KWh'
  value = value / 1000
end

value = string.format('%.3f', value) .. units
grp.checkupdate('32/1/54', value)

I use this one and gets the string presented with  4.564MWh.

I can change the presentation to 4.56MWh by change '%.3f' to '%.2f'
But how do I change this presentation as the number gets bigger?
So when the number gets bigger it also gets lesser decimals.
