It is not possible to reference an expression outside the object where that expression is.

You can define the expression as a variable then use the variable where you need

Hope this helps

Ok it seem the best thing to do but i have a question, i have a lot of calculated expression that depend each on other,

So can i use a variable to define another variaable? for exemple lets say that i define vX=a+b

can i use when define vY=vX+c or i have to do vY=a+b+c ?

thanks
