Description

When I calculate areas, it would be useful to specify directly the unit type I want in my field.

The way I see it working is this : $area(unit)

Where "unit" is a unit abbreviation, say km, m, ha, etc.

I always find transferring square meters to other units with calculations cumbersome as I have a hard time remembering how much I should divide or multiply values.

Thanks !
