Hi @ramirefm ,

A Global Variable needs Set()

Set(pid,Text(psel))

To add to what @WarrenBelz said. Global variables are created using Set. Context variables are created using UpdateContext. Context variables are scoped to a particular screen in a Power App. They also show up in a different place. In this screenshot you can see a section for Global variables and one for Context variables on the Home Screen.
