Hello ODKers,

I am trying to convert geopoint data type into string data type . There was a solution given to it at this page https://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/examples/ where i can apply a formula of 'string(.)' . But i am not able to understand where the formula should be applied . Please help me in this Thank you .

Hi SGSC,

if your form like this you can use ${ } to assign it to label or note

type name label
geopoint name_a label_a
note name_b ${name_a}

it will appear like this
this string are the latitude, longitude, altitude and accuracy separated by " "
55.123456 66.123456 77.123456 65.0 1.0

Nader's solution should work great.

An alternative (and more explicit) solution is to wrap the answer like so: string(${a})
