by ADMIN 61 views

Introduction

Exporting metric tables from QRiS can be a convenient way to share data with others or to use it in other applications. However, when units are changed in QRiS, the exported Excel table may not update the values accordingly. This can lead to confusion and errors when working with the data. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind this issue and provide a step-by-step guide on how to resolve it.

Understanding Metric Units in QRiS

QRiS allows users to define custom metric units for their data. This feature is useful for reporting data in different units, such as #/km, sq km, and percent. However, when exporting the data to Excel, the units may not be updated correctly. This is because Excel has its own set of default units, such as #/m, sq m, and ratio.

Why Units Don't Update in Exported Excel Table

There are several reasons why units may not update in the exported Excel table:

  • Unit Conversion: QRiS may not perform unit conversions correctly when exporting data to Excel. This can lead to incorrect values being displayed in the exported table.
  • Excel Default Units: Excel has its own set of default units, which may not match the units defined in QRiS. This can cause the units to be displayed incorrectly in the exported table.
  • Data Type: The data type in QRiS may not be compatible with the data type in Excel. This can cause the units to be displayed incorrectly in the exported table.

Resolving the Issue

To resolve the issue of units not updating in the exported Excel table, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check Unit Conversion in QRiS

  • Open QRiS and go to the "Settings" menu.

Step 2: Check Excel Default Units

  • Open the exported Excel table and go to the "Data" tab.
  • Click on "Data Tools" and select "Text to Columns".

  • Click on "Next" and select the correct unit from the list.
  • Click on "Finish" to update the units.

Step 3: Check Data Type in QRiS

  • Open QRiS and go to the "Settings" menu.
  • Click on "Data Type" and check if the data type is set correctly.
  • If the data type is not set correctly, update it to the correct value.

Step 4: Re-export the Data

  • Once you have updated the unit conversion, Excel default units, and data type in QRiS, re-export the data to Excel.
  • The exported table should now display the correct units.
