Dear community,

Again I have another beginner question:

I wonder if there is a smarter way than mine to display "minutes" in a result. I did not manage to use the search function since search terms like "time" or "minute" or "angle" deliver too many results.

My problem is to show results of time and angular calculations in a user friendly way. Currently I do it by putting the values into a matrix (see example). But this is mathematically incorrect.

Does anybody have a smart solution for this ... e.g. a user defined unit?

Thanks in advance for every idea!

Best regards,
Ralf

I don't know if my solution is smarter, but the display is closer to what you want. The seconds symbol should be " but that doesn't work.
