Using Text Variables 
Text variables represent a text and can be used in descriptions of queries, calculated key figures and structural components.

When the system is replacing text variables, if it finds no values or multiple values for the reference characteristic and is thus unable to determine a unique value, the technical name is output as the result: &<technical name of the text variable>&
