Variables and Flags

[#1]

Hello,

I want to exclude some types of my calculated measure.

So I need to define a flag. My approach was to define a variable in the UI.

vFlag: if( TYPE='A', 1,0)

Then I created a master element Using this Formula (and lots of variations):

mRevenue:

Sum(If(($(vFlag),REVENUE,0)))

Sum(If(($(vFlag)=1,REVENUE,0)))

There is no syntax error. No results.

What's wrong here ?

And what are your experiences with the handling of measures in the UI ?

Thanks in advance!
