Include Variable value in a Set Analysis value list

[#1]

I'm trying to include a variable in a Set Analysis expression value list. However, I can't make it work.

The variable is populated by a switch

Variable

vIndicator = if(Switch='Yes','Hardware','')

Set Analysis

sum({$<Type= {'Software',$(vIndicator)}>} Amount)

Basically, I would like to include the Hardware Amount if the switch selected is 'Yes', otherwise, just display the Software Amount.

Of course, I can change my expression as such

if(Switch='Yes',sum({$<Type= {'Software','Hardware'}>} Amount), sum({$<Type= {'Software'}>} Amount))

but would like to see if I can get it to work as originally designed and without the IF logic.

TableA:

LOAD * INLINE [

Product, Type,    Amount

ProdA, Hardware,100

ProdB, Hardware,200

ProdA, Software,300

ProdB, Software,400

];

LOAD * INLINE [

Switch

Yes

No];

Hello,

See the attached. I added an " = " to the variable and changed the way you use the set analysis.
