Problem with SUM

Hello.

Can you help me to write this expression "sum({$<Scenario={'Control budget '&Year&' (by the quarter)'}>} Sales)", correctly?

The main term is when I select the Year (for example: 2014), it inserted in the expression and Scenario should get 'Control budget 2014 (by the quarter)' and  expression return total "Control budget 2014 (by the quarter)" sales, when I select "2013" it return total "Control budget 2013 (by the quarter)" sales.

Thanks for your help, Stark

Define a variable and use that in the expression, like:

Variable1='Control budget  '&GetFieldSelections(Year)&' (by the quarter)'

Expression:

sum({$<Scenario={'$(Variable1)'}>}Sales)

Hi

This will work as long as there is a single selected or possible value of Year:

=sum({$<Scenario={"$(='Control budget ' &Year & ' (by the quarter)')"}>} Sales)
