String variable in match function in expression

Hi, I have a variable vRelevantBusinesses returning me a list of string values of a field "Business":

vRelevantBusinesses_temp: Concat(distinct Business,',')

vRelevantBusinesses: Chr(39) & Replace($(vRelevantBusinesses), ',', Chr(39) & ',' & Chr(39)) & Chr(39)


The vRelevantBusinesses variable output is 'a','b','c'


I need to write set analysis using match function and the vRelevantBusinesses variable output but it doesn't work:

=If(match(Business, $(vRelevantBusinesses)), Business)


Without the variable it works:

=If(match(Business, 'a','b','c), Business)


Please help on getting this to work: =If(match(Business, $(vRelevantBusinesses)), Business)


Sample app is attached.


Thanks!

=chr(39) & concat(distinct Business,chr(39)&','&chr(39)) & chr(39) as variable.

Or you can use an equal sign with your variable like this

=chr(39) & concat(distinct Business,chr(39)&','&chr(39)) & chr(39)

and then this

=If(match(Business, $(=vRelevantBusinesses)), Business)
