This should work

If([Metric Code] = 107, $(VParam2) & [Metric Name], [Metric Name])

Hi Dafnis,

So what 's the value of the variable? do you want to make this variable into a input box to make a dynamic variable or something else?

I think there is other way to make this happened, but not adding the variable into the excel.

You can define the variable(for example, vtest) to some value. And in front-end, using if function : when the Metric Code = 107, then output is vtest.

Hope it can help you.

Thanks.
