With an illustration it would be simpler but if I understood correctly you have to put ="D1@Esquisse1" where D1 corresponds to the dimension you want to use and Sketch1 corresponds to the sketch where the said dimension is located
Hello
From the equation management window you have access to all the dimensions and parameters (dimensions) of the functions of your part, you just have to take the names or simply put a = in the value box, then click on the name of the reference dimension.
You can also click on the function in the tree, the parameters associated with the function appear, you just have to click on the desired value to link it to a property or a dimension.
Hello
I didn't understand well, but if you want to drive values simply our friend @a.Leblanc has made a tutorial that can answer your request.

I realize that I have not been clear at all, so I resume.
In a drawing, I displayed the diameter of an extrusion and its repeated quantity as shown in the image below:
Now, I would like to have the quantity in the rating, like "12 x Ø13".
I hope I have been clearer and especially that you can help me.
Thank you.
You make an annotation, you click on the 12, you make an "x" and you click on your rating of 13.
There you go, good end of the day

edit: otherwise, depending on your version of Solidworks, you can group the two sides but the display is... shitty.

Thank you for your answer.
Indeed it could be fine but I would have liked to keep the diameter dimension with its attachment lines linked to the edges of the hole.
Personally, I put a reference instead of the value of the dimension (of the type "A"), and create an annotation that refers to the real value of this dimension.
