I have several devices that return temperature data in Celsius and want to display it in Fahrenheit. While there are Multiplication and Division fields in PRTG, I have not been able to manipulate them enough to do the conversion correctly.
Is there a way to do this or are there future plans to add this as a feature?

Most devices only allow to monitor the temperature in a single unit (either in Fahrenheit or Celsius). If that is also the case with your device(s), it is possible to use the Sensor Factory Sensor to convert a value from Celsius to Fahrenheit applying the conversion formula (9/5)*Tc+32, where Tc stands for the temperature in Celsius.
For example, we have a sensor with the sensor ID 3862, whose channel 0 displays the temperature in Celsius. You can query the original value (in Celsius) with the following definition:
#1:Temperature Celsius Channel(3862,0)
You can also display the values in both units, in Fahrenheit and in Celsius. The definition looks as follows:
#1:Temperature Celsius Channel(3862,0) #2:Temperature Fahrenheit[ºF] ((9/5)*Channel(3862,0)+32)
You can also have a single sensor that displays the converted temperature from multiple source sensors/channels. In this case, the example sensors have the sensor IDs 3861, 3862, and 3863, and all of them query channel 0:
#1:Temperature Fahrenheit Sensor 3861[ºF] ((9/5)*Channel(3861,0)+32) #2:Temperature Fahrenheit Sensor 3862[ºF] ((9/5)*Channel(3862,0)+32) #3:Temperature Fahrenheit Sensor 3863[ºF] ((9/5)*Channel(3863,0)+32)
To find out more and about the Sensor Factory Sensor, please review this post.

If not, I'm afraid the only option would be to use a Sensor Factory sensor, applying the conversion formula ((9/5)*Tc+32, where Tc stands for the temperature in Celsius).
