My function "autoscales", so it would output "4.56u". But, I could see the value in having a mode where it could fix the scale to always output "u", or whatever the user specifies. Here is a sample of what my function does (left column is input, right is output): `1234 --> 1.23k 50000 --> 50k 5000 --> 5k 500 --> 500 0.012 --> 12m 0.00055555 --> 555u 5e-5 --> 50u 5E-5 --> 50u 5.0e-05 --> 50u -193.7 --> -193 -5 --> -5 -0.7895 --> -789m 555555555555555555 --> 5.56e+17 0.000000000000000777 --> 7.77e-16 9876543 --> 9.87M` [download] Obviously, this is only used for very coarse estimates. It does not handle rounding or precision correctly.	[reply] [d/l]
