title: Can a SSIS variable have a SSIS expression as its value?
body: <p>I have a variable &quot;variable1&quot; defined with SSIS expression as its value. Is there a way to evaluate the &quot;variable1&quot; as expression in a second variable &quot;variable2&quot;?</p>
  <p>For example,
  variable1 is as below:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ChXsJ.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ChXsJ.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>When I evaluate variable2 by adding the variable1 in the expression builder, I see the same value of variable1.

  <p>Is there a way to get the variable2 to evaluate the expression &quot;YEAR(GETDATE())&quot; and give the result (2022) as its value?</p>
