I am trying to develop an equation within the Shapesheet that uses the Width property from another shape as an input, ie: "Sheet.279!Width / 5". The problem I am having is that when I reference the Width of the other shape it adds a PT to the end of the number (ie: 12 PT. and what I want is 12). Is there any way to tell Visio to remove the PT.?
Thanks
Try using the format statement, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms406694.aspx
For example, FORMAT(Sheet.279!Width / 5,"#.# "). Actual example of using this may be found here: Drawing Scale Symbol: a smartshape (http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=962.0 (http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=962.0))

Thanks for the reply. I just tried out the FORMAT command and it is giving me the result I was looking for.
Thanks
