Button to change units of measure / Boton para cambiar unidades de medida

Hello community, I have a board with several graphs and charts, and in the quantities I have a column of kilos, however, they asked me if I could add a button, or some object that, when pressed, converts the column of kilos into units, and vice versa.

Thank you in advance for all the help!

You could make a button that changes a variable.Then use an if statement with this variable to convert your expression into the desired value.

For example, where vConvert is the variable you change with the button:

if($(vConvert)='units', convert kg's to units

if($(vConvert)='kg',show kg's))

 

Make sure you load vConvert with a value in the load script, otherwise you'll get an error in the chart when the button is not pressed. So put this is the load script:

let vConvert = 'kg'
