PokerTracker

I've made a bit of a research and I came across the same problem ( https://na4.pokertracker.com/forums/vie ... 2&p=113431 ) and the same workaround works also for me, but Im wondering if there's a more straightforward way thats been developed since then, since Im trying to create a lot of custom stats and duplicate all of them would be a bit time consuming. Thanks!

What kind of custom formatting are you looking to do?

blnds_20_bb_hands = sum(if[tourney_holdem_hand_player_statistics.id_hand > 0 AND tourney_holdem_blinds.amt_bb = 20 AND position = 8, 1, 0]) in Columns, Holdem tournament player statistics.

That shouldn't be necessary for an expression like that - the Variable workaround is only needed for text stats like those using the Player name.

Here you should only need the following as a column - you don't need to check the hand ID.

sum(if[tourney_holdem_blinds.amt_bb = 20 AND position = 8, 1, 0])
