Store outcome of an expression in a variable

[#1]

Dear all,

I have the following dataset:

LOAD * INLINE [
ACTIVITY_ID2
1
2
3
];

Right now I have a text box that shows the number of ACTIVITY_ID. This works fine but now I would like to store the value in a variable. So I create a variable called varTest with the following:

=count(ACTIVITY_ID2)

But if I want to insert this variable in a textbox now like this:

=$(varTest)

I do get anything. Any thoughts on where this goes wrong?

This extension will help you try this,

Try just varTest without the dollar sign expansion

or do not use '=' when creating variable.
