Yuki,

PrimeA=1;
m=1000000*(10+3*PrimeA);
Filter=1;
AddColumn(m/C,"Shares",1.0);

Set [manually] your PrimeA to 1 [when true] or 0 [when false] and 
then explore for the n=1 last quotations.
Dimitris Tsokakis
PS: If you describe [in words] your PrimeA condition[s] we may 
probably code it [to avoid manual operation]
