Can a variable be used in an expression instead of a Master Measure

[lbrosten]

I created a master item, Incurred Costs

Sum([OS Indemnity Reserve]+[OS Expense Reserve]+[Indemnity Paid]+[Expense Paid])

I want to use this Master item expression in the creation of other master items. Is there a way to do this?

Would creating a variable of this expression work?

Can you help create a master item which shows Incurred Costs when the 'Claim Status' is 'Closed'.

You can, just strat typing "Incurred Cost", the auto-complete assistant will offer you the master Measure in the dropdown which is indicated by a blue "measure".

for your second task use Set-Analysis : {<[Claim Status]={'Closed'}>}

It should work.
Try creating a variable 'vIncurred_Cost' = 

Sum([OS Indemnity Reserve]+[OS Expense Reserve]+[Indemnity Paid]+[Expense Paid])

and then use $(vIncurred_Cost) in a different Master Item.
Good luck.
