'UnitType' field creation

Hello community, I'm suggesting an idea for AppSheet. It involves creating a 'UnitType' field that allows users to add a unit of measurement to be appended to a number, without the need to create an extra text column with concatenation including that unit.

In a common scenario (100 m), we currently have to create a decimal column, then a text column with concatenation joining the decimal with the unit text. However, this field cannot be used for calculations; we have to resort to the first one (100 decimal type). This doesn't happen with 'price.'

I propose the creation of a 'UnitType' data type that enables the inclusion of units and allows for both unit visualization and calculations in a single field.

Best regards to all.

Sugiero la creación de una tipo de dato UnitType que permita la inclusión de unidades y que, con un solo campo, se puede visualizar la unidad y también hacer cálculos. 

Saludos a todos.
