To give an example of my required result set:

unitid
1 = mm
2 = inch
3 = ft
4 = gram

create table test(id serial primary key, qty numeric(12,4), unitid int);
insert into test(qty,unitid)
values(100,2),(200,2),(5,3),(20,1),(800,4)

select sum_unitvalues(qty,unitid) as qty, sum_units(unitid) as unitid
from test where unitid<>4;

qty | unitid
----------------------------
9124 | 1

select sum_unitvalues(qty,unitid) as qty, sum_units(unitid) as unitid
from test where unitid not in (1,4);

qty | unitid
----------------------------
360 | 2

select sum_unitvalues(qty,unitid) as qty, sum_units(unitid) as unitid
from test;
qty | unitid
----------------------------
NULL | NULL
