bytes to kb or mb

[jonathangonzales]

Im using the directory tool and the size column only shows in bytes. Anyone know how to convert to kb, mb, or gb?

Without looking at @MarqueeCrew solution...

I'd do the following 2 step formula

- Work out the base:

MIN(5,FLOOR(LOG10([Size])/LOG10(1024)))

- Make it pretty:

trim(tostring([Size]/POW(1024, tonumber([SizeNice])),3),".0") + SWITCH(tonumber([SizeNice]), " B", 1, " kB", 2, " MB", 3, " GB", 4, " TB", 5, " PB")
