Units Of Measure

Internal Table Name: UnitOfMeasure

The Units Of Measure table contains definitions of standard units of measure for several measure types. You categorize the unit as Quantity, Weight, Volume, Time, Area, Distance or Speed. You control the default Unit Of Measure per Measure Type in Model Settings > Default Units and Currency.

Do not delete the unit of measure record with the Name "Mile". This unit of measure is required for internal distance calculations when running scenarios with the various technologies.
You cannot control values in columns in the Units of Measure table using Scenario Items. When the scenario is run, the units of measure are evaluated prior to applying the Scenario Items.
