Sorry for not mention the error.
I thought that the error message is clear, due to my description.
The error message is, that a variable is not found. This is due to the
fact, that I don't have every variable for every year. Which is the
reason why I need a loop like the one Steven posted. But which shows
respect to the fact, that some variables are missing. (concerning the
year).
Hope this was explanation enough.
