Metric to Imperial Calculation

Developer Support CMS Development

I’ve have some data in HubDB that represents a metric measuremnt in mm for example 3174. A calculation then converts it to feet and inches;

{% set metric = (row.gf_kitchen_met_1) %}
{% set imperial = 304.8 %} 
{% set calculation = (metric / imperial ) | round (1, 'floor') %}

Original = {{row["gf_kitchen_met_1"]}}<br>
Converted = {{ calculation }}"

The example above correctly shows 3174 converted to 10.4

Is there a way to show the converted number with the correct symbols, i.e. 10’4" ?

I figured it out using the ‘replace’ function :grinning_face: …

New calculation = {{ calculation|replace('.',''') }}"

Well sort of @dennisedson. I’ve had another look at the above and it’s only caluclating the ‘ft’ not inches. Howver using the below is a lot more accurate…

{% for row in housetype_db %}
 <!-- Convert mm to ft & inches -->
 {% set inches = (row.gf_kitchen_met_1 / 25.4) %}
 {% set feet = (inches / 12)|round(0, 'floor') %}
 {% set measurement = (inches % 12)|round(0) %}
 <!-- Run calculation -->
 {% if measurement >= 12 %}
 <p>{{ feet + 1 }}'0"</p>
 {% else %}
 <p>{{ feet }}'{{ measurement }}"</p>
 {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
