After the dollar expansion it would become <SPAN style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">=Sum({&lt;<SPAN style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> DATE =&nbsp; {1} , MTD= {1}</SPAN> &gt;} Amount). That would calculate the sum of Amount over the set of records where Date = 1 and MTD = 1.</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 25 Mar 2015 09:21:45 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Variable-syntax/m-p/786844#M1019926 Gysbert_Wassenaar 2015-03-25T09:21:45Z
