Yes. Use Swap Units when the reverse pair is available in the catalog. The page URL changes to the reverse conversion and the entered value is retained.
Why can a value be rejected?
A reciprocal conversion is undefined at zero. The engine also rejects non-finite values and values outside the valid range.
How are displayed decimal places chosen?
Use the Decimal precision selector above the result. Very large or very small results switch to scientific notation when that makes the value easier to read.
