New measure : what am I doing wrong?

[AFra]

Hi all, 

I created a measure such as : 

# patients = calculate(counta(Patient[Id]), year(Patient[CreationDate])=2020)

it works nicely and counts the number of new patients in 2020. 

however, I have another measure such as : 

Year report = 2020 

I'd like to remplace my # patients by : 

# patients = calculate(counta(Patient[Id]), year(Patient[CreationDate])=Year report)

but it doesn't work. Why? What do I have to change so it works? 

Thanks in advance, 

Ana

# patients =

var y = [Year report]

return calculate(counta(Patient[Id]), year(Patient[CreationDate])=y)
