Balloon overrides that update

[Jam_Jumpin]

I want to override a balloon to say

25m

Is there a code I can type in the balloon override so that if 25 changes it will update to say 26m

i.e. something like:

<item>m

Hello Jamjumpin,

what you are looking for should be available using ilogic or VBA (for example using the code in an API

oBalloonValueSet.OverrideValue = oBalloonValueSet.ItemNumber & "M"

Other possibility (even if not exactly what you are looking for but maybe could be helpful to other users):

=> define in components custom iproperty with text value to display in balloon for example "M" => define "circular 2 entries" (or None - all entries) balloon type in the style of the drawing => assign iproperties "Item" and "M" => both values will be displayed but vertically (and not horizontally).

I hope that will help.

Best Regards
