Updating Dropdown Not Updating Filters

[cyoung3]

I am very new to Alteryx and I have been trying to get my filter in a workflow to update based on a dropdown selection by the user. See attached example of what I am doing. The workflow runs fine until I try and change the value of the dropdown (the entire point) at which point I get the error "Filter (16): Parse Error at char(5): Unknown variable "P06""

The data is structured as follows:

The dropdown allows the user to select a period, and the output is intended to only be reflective of the period selected by the user. Can someone help me understand why the user selection isn't working?
