Of the 2 variable expressions below, the first produces a result, where the numerator value is expressed as the result. The second expression produces an expected result.
$(vOverheadCost) / $(vUnitCount)
$(vNetProfitYTD) / $(vSalesYTD)
I found a community discussion log entry that suggested adding the '=' to the expression:
=$(vOverheadCost) / $(vUnitCount)
This produced no difference in the result.
This problem would not seem to be a result of syntax. I'm hoping the Community can offer an explanation and I offer my thanks in advance!
