Help - column that would show col A or Col B val based on presentation var

Question

We are having difficulty in getting this to work.
Here is what we have in the column formula:
CASE WHEN @{variables.nabc}='Mgmt $' THEN SR_QUOTA_ACHIV_AGGR.MGMT_DOLLARS_MTD_AMT ELSE SR_QUOTA_ACHIV_AGGR.LGL_DOLLARS_MTD_AMT
We get Syntax error.
The variable is set in the prompt using a fake SQL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN SR_QUOTA_ACHIV_AGGR.MGMT_DOLLARS_MTD_AMT ELSE 'MGMT $' END FROM ROAD_RUNNER UNION ALL SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN SR_QUOTA_ACHIV_AGGR.LGL_DOLLARS_MTD_AMT ELSE 'LGL $' END FROM RPT_TBL
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
