Variable not found in Post-process after selected in data file quantities

  I am a new user of Workbench and using Fluent to solve a simple pipe flow problem by following a video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv9NRioSGDY&t=0s.
  I have added "wall y plus" and "skin friction coefficient" from the data file quantities "other quantities" after the solver completed the calculation and before post-processing. Btw, I am using Workbench 2023 R1.
  However, in my post-processing, there is no "skin friction coefficient" option but have "y plus" option. Did anyone encounter a similar issue? How can I resolve this problem? Thank you in advance!

  Hello,
  You can find the "Skin friction coefficient" under "Wall Fluxes" option.

    Thank you @Essence, there are only "wall heat flux" and "wall radiative flux" options in the post-processing step...

  Finally, I realized that I should define its expression and then convert it to a variable in the post-processing. This is a difference between versions...

  I was referring to the contours.
