Can I insert query variables in markdown text?

Can I insert query variables in markdown text? The scenario is that I have multiple information I need to show as a health summary (like number of exception, memory, cpu etc)  as descriptive message. If it is single info I could sue single line state to an extend. But I have more info to show as a summary. If I could create queries in markdown chart and I can put something like thing in markdown

"You have ${numberoferrorquery} and ${highcpuquery}"

Hi Sajithkumar,

Currently you use Dashboard variables in Markdown text exactly like you have in done your example . See here a sample markdown which is using a dashboard variable  -> https://workday.wavefront.com/u/2G2SfkbWlK

Unfortunately at present you cannot use query variables in markdowns.  That  is an great suggestion though and I will share it with our product team for further consideration for our future product feature roadmap.

Thanks,

Thanks. I could have used Dynamic dashboard variable. But seems like it only support sources and sources tags and does not support arbitrary queries. I think support for query variable will be great feature to add.
