Is there another way to add variables? I like to use variables in formulas, without really needing the formula, but only to tag in the name. This example is still applying this as a formula?

Try using Custom Properties.

The other option that I use when I want a variable on one thing only is put in my qty formula and add those variables times zero. A*B+C + (V*0)
Perry, how are you tagging the custom property in the name then?
I agree with Perry, use custom properties and make sure to hide them so you only see them when you need them. Adding quick variables is awesome, but they are tied to the formula.
Trenton if you chat in I can send over a zoom link to show you how to do this. Ask for Todd
