   "Velocity Band 5 Total Distance + Velocity Band 6 Total Distance"
   
   will show as:
   
   "$velocity_band5_total_distance+$velocity_band6_total_distance”
   
   Note: You can also find the Parameters from the drop down menu beneath the Calculation box. Once the Parameter is selected from the drop down menu. Select Add Parameter to Calculation.
