Divide variable in expression

[stabben23]

Hi I have a variable 'vNetSales' sum(Value), when I use this in a Bar chart in the expression like $(vNetsales)/1000 nothing happens, the value wont get divided. This is not a problem, I can use sum(Value)/1000 in my expression but I wondering why this dont work.

Did you write correctly your expression ? QV is case sensitive (take care)

because that is correct:

I have done v1 -  Sum(Sales) in Variable Overview window (no = sign to get an interpretation for all rows)

In the expression, I have done

$(v1)/100 or $(=v1)/100 : both work perfectly

(no quotes)

in the end in my example where my variable (vA) defined an expression using variable. My solution that worked was $(v1)/$(=$(vA)) Thank you for your posts it helped my thinking....
