What wrong with my variable? (new to Onshape)

I am testing Variables an tried to use it on a dimension that measure the distance between construction lines with several constraints:
Like you can see, I am not able to use the variable SecW, it is red colored.
You can have a look by yourself here : https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c11a0a79541ebdc42d826896/w/edecf49e09b47f2d44ddf365/e/eb8919f3c9e66a722d132d9b
The dimension is Driving the distance and when I type a number the drawing adjust itself like expected.
Thank you

As you can see, the variable name was now accepted in the dimension value.
To reorder the feature, I used the small clock icon with a circular arrow to the left.
Your answer really untie my understanding of that behavior for features.
