Round function with variable

Hi,

I am trying to create a round function with a variable but only receive error messages.

Idea is to write sth like: Round(Var A, 0.1,0). The varibale is defined in the variables section of the dashboard before. 

When putting this in a chart/textbox,... I receive an error saying: Error in Expression: ')' expected

If I write the variable directly into my expression it works though.

for example: Var A = 1/2

Round(Var A, 0.1,0) -> the above mentioned error

Round(1/2,0.1,0) -> results in a value though

Can someone please help me what is going wrong here?

Thanks

Found the problem:

Variable was created in Variable Overview, but it also included a line of commented code below the code actually in use. 

Removing the part of the variable which was commented solved it.

now it works.

Thanks though.

May be use $ expansion over variable like 

Round($(Var A), 0.1,0) 

or

Round($(=Var A), 0.1,0)
