Metric to Imperial Calculation

[ben-duchy]

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"  ?

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 %}

I figured it out using the 'replace' function  😀 ...

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