Converting expression numbers to string format, problem with differing units 1

[3dr]

If you have an inch part file with a mm expression and format it to string, it converts it back to the part files units.

Ex: Metric Part file
Expr1 = 3 inches, format to string = "76.2"

Ex: Inch Part file
Expr1 = 3 mm, format to string = ".118"

I just want the number shown to to be converted to string, no unit conversion.

I've attached a couple of screen shots testing different ways to achieve this and so far nothing works.
Even if the numbers are unit-less (Constant) the behavior is the same.

Is there a way around this??
A way to force it in the "format" Expression itself???

TIA

You can do a math conversion on the value:

format("%0.2f", in_num, "units", "in")
