VariableName,VariableValue,Comments,Priority

LET eG.Sales€YTD,sum($(vSetYTD)Sales),,Sales

LET eG.Margin%LYTDIFC1, sum({<$(vSetPreviousYearYTDModifier), %IFC={'1'}>}Margin)/sum({<$(vSetPreviousYearYTDModifier), %IFC={'1'}>}Sales), , Sales

‌ wrap the expression in double quotation marks. I.e "expression". This ensures that when the expression includes a comma it is loaded correctly.

I Also wrap the entire expression in parenthesis. Therefore if you use it as a numerator or denominstor the correct arithmetic order is maintained.

I.e. "(Sum[sales])"

Hi Arjen, ad Damian sais use double quotation marks and also use SET instead of LET (or leave operator out completely and SET will be default) as LET will try to evaluate the expression and this might not be possible. So like this:

eG.Margin%LYTDIFC1, "sum({<$(vSetPreviousYearYTDModifier), %IFC={'1'}>}Margin)/sum({<$(vSetPreviousYearYTDModifier), %IFC={'1'}>}Sales)", , Sales


Hope that this helps

Regards

Magnus
