@dahund79 Can you be more explicit? How are you using 'myvar' in the query?

let myvar=4;

| project myvar


This works, what are you trying?

@dahund79 Simply declaring the variable will fail since it's not being used in a query. @CliveWatson 's example above shows how to potentially use the variable in a query.
