Hi All.

I'm doing some trig on the shapesheet, and need to solve the pythagorian theorem.  Unfortunately, the following:

=SQRT(X Units - Y Units)

returns a #DIM error. 

I believe Visio is looking for a compound unit to represent 'Units ^-2.'   I don't need this, as the result of the solved theorem should return the same non-compound unit used in 'X' and 'Y'.

Any workarounds for this?

I don't understand your problem with units.
Use the values as they are. Visio cares about the units.

All calculations are done with internal units. Ignore the units.

The Pythagorean Theorem requires the values inside the sqrt to be squared...as Yacine's example shows.
