Hi @Janewhite,

To include a variable, you terminate the HTML with a double-quote where you want to add it. You then use an ampersand and the variable name, followed by a trailing ampersand and a double quote to resume the HTML, e.g.:

Measure 3 = 
VAR name_ = USERNAME()

return
"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>W3.CSS</title>
<meta name=""viewport"" content=""width=device-width, initial-scale=1"">
<link rel=""stylesheet"" href=""https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css"">
<body>

<div class=""w3-container"">
  <h2>Card Content</h2>
  <p>Add containers inside the card to create different sections:</p>
 
  <div class=""w3-card-4"" style=""width:50%;"">
    <header class=""w3-container w3-blue"">
      <h1>Header</h1>
    </header>

    <div class=""w3-container"">
      " & name_ & "
    </div>

    <footer class=""w3-container w3-blue"">
      <h5>Footer</h5>
    </footer>
  </div>
</div>

</body>
</html>
"

This is known as concatenation in DAX. Here's some further reading on how you can approach it.
