We really need a way to concatenate string and values in formulas. For example, in HVAC, for diffuser/grille schedules, it is very common to have a column that lists the face dimension of the elements. However, in some cases, the face dimension is a diameter and in other cases it will be a rectangular dimension.

 

So we need a calculated field that does something like this:

 

if(Face Diameter=0,concatenate(Face Length,"×",Face Width),concatenate(Face Diameter,"Ø"))

 

We need this function everywhere that we can use formulas and not just in schedules.

 

This function has been requested for years. Other typical text handling functions are also needed, but I don't want to muck up the thread.

 

Frankly, AutoCAD MEP is superior in this regard because it allows for VBScript in their property set data which makes the data more usable and presentable.
