Could it be that when evaluated against state A, the variable evaluates to null ?

What happens if you set your Text Box to state A ?

Hi Sarah,

what is the expression for your chart title?

I'm guessing it should be something like

='Text '& $(vLeaseCo) & ' more text'

How is your variable defined? May be your variable definition includes some state other than State A.

define your variable using

SET for ex:

Set vLeaseCo=your expression here;

then try using $(vLeaseCo)

and also check if the chart matching the criteria like text

might there some condition on chart stoping that

hope this helps
