How to use a variable in a transformation regex

I have a panel that needs to display a subset of data from another panel, based on the value of a Client variable. The data has a _time column and a column for each possible value of the Client variable:
image
I have set up a Filter By Name Transform with the following as the regex:
/_time|$Client/
image

The _time column is recognized by this regex as expected, but the Client value is not. When I hardcode the Client value into the regex (/_time|NV/), it works – just not when I use the variable. I have also tried escaping the $ character (/_time|\$Client/) but it did not work.

How can I use a variable within a transform regex?
Thanks!

Variables are not supported in Transformations at this time.

Hi, Do you know if this feature is in the pipeline, and if so, when can we expect it?
thanks

I would like to have this feature as well. Is it planned ? or will be any time soon ?

Also need this feature. To be able to access variables in transformations
