Using 'Greater than' condition - Unable to process template language expressions for action

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 21
I'm currently creating an approval flow...
 
One step is that if an item is more than £10,000 a year it needs to go to someone for approval, however I cannot get the greater than condition to work. I am getting template language errors. The results of a Microsoft form are going into a SharePoint list which is what this flow is connected to.  I don't have much experience of using conditions with numbers so any help would be appreciated!

    Hi,
     
    When connecting from Forms to SharePoint lists, remember that all values in your form responses come in as string values so my assumption in the numeric value you are pointing to is a string.
     
    So check the List column and verified it is a numeric column.
     
    I just checked the conditional action and it works as written.

    Of course, thank you! 
    Just changed the column in question to Number and its all working... when you look at something for too long you go blind!
