In the second one, you are calculating the Games per hour variable in a different context (the original evaluation context).  When you then use that variable in the return, a new result is not calculated.

Hi @mahoneypat 

 

That kind of starting to make sense now .

 

Do you think is there any way to improve the visibility of the first measure in the screenshot using Variables.

 

Thanks,
