How to configure an action tool to update the field to group by in a summarize tool?

Hi, 


I am trying to build a macro which lets me group by one out of a number of variables. I have a summarize tool which groups by variable X. I would now like to be able to specify which variable to group by e.g. if I want to group by variable Y instead, the macro should ideally be able to accept an input of either variable X, Y, or Z and then group by the specified variable. 

I have tried to implement this by having a dropdown tool to specify the variable and then, via an action tool, update the field to summarize. However, I can't get the last step to work. How can I configure an action tool to update the field to group by in a summarize tool? 

Any help on this would be really great!

Never mind, I made a silly mistake somewhere else in my work flow that I completely overlooked. Sorry!
