You can't. You have this strategy backwards: build your calculations as UD8s, then you can reference them from Cube View filters.
OK, so if I change the XFBR to a UD8 calculation, would the member filter for my column where I'm summing the values of the entities with the text criteria be the UD8 plus the specific entity filter? For example, it would be U8#MyUD8Calc:E#TextEntities?

I believe that would depend on how the rule is written.
I would suggest to keep it simple: write a simple UD8 to calculate things for one entity. You can then see how it looks like on the CV, and in the worst case perform sums on the CV itself with GetDataCell.

Thanks Jack - I appreciate the help so far. Now that I have the calculations for the entity, how would I pass or reference the calculation to the other UD8 to produce the Y or N? The variance UD8 is supposed to check if the absolute value of one column exceeds the absolute value of another - if it does, its supposed to return a Y.

With your original UD8 😊 since you can now easily pull up with api.Data.GetDataCell the values of the intersections generated by the new UD8s. They are just cube data now!
