Custom variable returning missing or N/A data

Question

Hi, I am trying to run an infographic with a custom variable. The variable is an equation linked to an integer pulled from a custom map layer divided by the sum of existing esri data. Both data points are used in the infographic on their own in other places and work fine.

When I run the infographic, it displays this below:

And then when I go back to the infographic builder I get this error:

Hello @MeganMeserve

Sorry for the delayed response but it looks like you found a bug. I was able to reproduce it as well when diving a variable from a Map Layers with a sum of standard Esri variables. I'll go ahead and submit a bug for this.

However, my recommendation for your current workflow is to first create a custom data using your map layer as your data source ( documented here https://doc.arcgis.com/en/community-analyst/help/custom-data-setup.htm).

Then, instead of adding the desired variable from Map Layers category, you can add it from My Data.

I hope this helps,
