dynamic name alter state in set analisys

Hi, people!

For example

=sum( { ['Year_1_' & [Shop] ] } )

as

=sum({[Year_1_Shop1]} sales)

Year_1_Shop1 - it's name alter state

where shop it's field, and shop = shop1,

but shop2 will be =sum({[Year_1_Shop2]} sales)

How do it?

Not a variable, but the name of an alternate state

This kind of thing you can´t do

=sum({[$(='State_spec_'&[Dim1])]}Expression1)

Set analysis are not evaluated per row, it´s evaluated before the aggregation of the object, reducing the record set will be evaluated.
