- What is the issue? Please be detailed.
The end user wants to collect a distance and wants to give both miles and km options. I understand the option to present a integer or decimal field followed by a choice between Miles/Kilometers. However, this presents a data analysis problem -- 2 fields are needed to compare records.
Does a widget exist that displays both miles and kms, and allows the user to enter a numeric value next to their preferred unit, and the other field calculates/displays the equivalent? Ideally the value could be added to either field.
What have others done in similar situations? I thought about presenting both miles and kilometers, and adding a field with some calculation stuff that either copies the km value, or converts the miles value. That way, the analyst can go to 1 place for comparison.
Thanks for the help. I look here often and ask only occasionally.
