Getting error "Error:Garbage after expression" in Label field

Hi, 

In Chart object properties, using the variable in label in expression tab, when I click apply, showing this error as "Error: Garbage after expression", 

Used variable in Label field : =$(vPrevYear) & 'Total'
 VPrevYear : year-1

Can any one help here with the right syntax?

 

Thanks.

In this case going to be most helpful if you can attach the QVW file, or a sample one that has the issue, so folks can look into the data model and full properties of things, too many things in play without that to really say for sure.  If you have any sensitive fields, you can scramble those via the Settings\Document Properties\Scrambling tab prior to attaching.

Regards,
Brett
