Conversion preview
The preview shows an example conversion with the factor:100 kg → 220.46 lb (×2.2046)
Tips
- Use Convert values (the default) when you’re actually switching unit systems — this recalculates the numeric values using the conversion factor.
- Use Label only (turn off Convert values) when the values are already correct but the unit label is wrong — for example, after a data import that set the wrong unit.
- The conversion factor is calculated automatically from the UOM code set — no need to look up conversion rates manually.
