I begin with an an exemple, I have two variables :
- passengers
------> Value = 12
------> Unit = k*pas
and
- distanceMean
------> Value = 3
------> Unit = k*km
and I multiply them, to get :
- mobility
------> Value = 36
------> Unit = k*k*km*pas
So my question is :
Is it possible to define a unit "k" for kilo and unit "M" for Mega to transform the unit of the last variable in M*km*pas ? I would like to keep unit consistency when I use the "unit check" tool
Thank you for your anwser

You would usually have something like
- passengers
------> Value = 12
------> Unit = kpas
and
- distanceMean
------> Value = 3
------> Unit = kkm
and I multiply them, to get :
- mobility
------> Value = 36
------> Unit = kpas*kkm
- passengers
------> Value = 12
------> Unit = kpas
and
- distanceMean
------> Value = 3
------> Unit = kkm
and I multiply them, to get :
- mobility
------> Value = 36
------> Unit = kpas*kkm

You could define a variable called "kilos per mega" with units k*k/M and use that to make the conversion.
