Variable with parameter not evaluated in IF statement

[YAMAMO]

Dear Experts,

I have created a variable as follow :

NS_CML = (sum( aggr(Above( Sum({<Year={$(v_MaxYear),$(v_MaxYearLY)}>} Sales),$1,$2),(RRC,(TEXT,ASCENDING)),(Month,(NUMERIC,ASCENDING)))) )

the variable is working fine inside the pivot table, the values are displayed correctly as follow : $(NS_CML(0,12))

but it is not evaluated inside the IF statement as the following expression :

if($(NS_CML(0,12)) < 0 , 0 , 1 )

could you please help identify why the condition of that variable is not evaluated (when less than zero, it's zero, else it's one).

Are you using the if statement in the same pivot table?

Are there any comments within the variable? If yes, remove them.
