Can you use a variable in a defined measure?

Anonymous — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 20:14:22 GMT

Hello All,

I am trying to use a variable in defined measure that I am trying to create.

Can this be done? If not, is there a work around?

Variable is called Pro Rated Target

Measure:

I am using the variable that I created above in my measure, but its not working ? Is my syntax off or is that not possible?

Enclose your variable within the $()

That is $(MeasureName)

Yes, it is definitely possible, and probably best practice too. Just correct your syntax to $(ProRatedTarget). (I would avoid blanks in variable names)
