What inspired this wish list request?
My Version: JMP18.0
If you do calculations in a data sheet after having fetched the data from the database, the formula editor may be used. However, it is not possible to attach/include physical units to the numbers and elements in the formula editor, respectively.
What is the improvement you would like to see?
It would be a good way to make the formulas (especially for more complicated versions) more comprehensible. The physical unit could be directly visualized by including it as a text within the formula editor or by making a hoverlabel showing the physical unit when resting the mouse over the element.
See picture for an example.
Why is this idea important?
This idea is important mainly for two reasons:
1) Better readability of formula, because the physical meaning is delivered by the units only
2) Proof-reading is supported. This includes testing by oneself, but is especially important if data tables and sheets are used AND modified by more than one person.
Thank you for taking the time to share this request! It has been reviewed and we will let you know if there are any changes to the status.
