Hi there.

I'm using a switch to evaluate if Variabale DateTemp is a 0 or 6 or "something different."

The "something different" (so default case) gives me an unexpected exception. Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

Thx in advance

Here the flow in edit modus

I've no clue why but dayOfTheWeek returns now a string value not an int anymore.

When I now set the switch terms in quotes it works again. So I solved it by myself 😉
