Posted on by undenius

Hi guys,
I am getting crazy here.
I want to create a report from my list objects.

But I want it to display Yes or No and not True or False

Whatever I do it only displays No, even what I can see that it is True in "Get item" and should be Yes

What am I doing wrong?

I have tried both below expression.

if(equals(triggerBody()?[' Direktiv från Beställare/ombud '], true), 'Yes', 'No')

if(equals(triggerBody()?['Direktiv från Beställare/ombud'],'true'),'Yes','No')

But it always reports No

Your expression logic looks fine. I just think the field isn't returning what you expect. Can you put the expression below into a Compose and run the flow then check exactly what value is being returned? You can also click on Show raw outputs within the Compose output to see the exact value.

triggerBody()?['Direktiv från Beställare/ombud']

Hi @undenius
Most likely a typing mistake or a type mismatch.
Create a compose step directly after the trigger and inspect it on the value that is retrieved. It might be a text value instead of a boolean.
In your expessions I notice that you have a space after your fieldname. ombud<space>'

Thank you @Mglat for your quick answer.
I sorry but I am limited in my skills with Power Automate.

But I think you are correct.
When I input the compose action you suggested (triggerBody()?['Direktiv från Beställare/ombud']) it returns nothing at all.
So, made a compose where I choose the Dynamic content instead and then it returned "true".
Can I change my expression to use the dynamic content as compose action for if(equals(…..

yes that should work.
If you are not sure yet, that create a new compose and put the if expression into it. That way you directly see if it works like you expect.
I always use compose actions to build and check my expressions as a way to debug the flow

Once again thank you @Mglat ,

I finally got it working using the expression
if(equals(triggerBody()?['Direktiv_x0020_fr_x00e5_n_x0020_'], true), 'Yes', 'No')

Thank you for the good tip of creating compose to really see that is happening.
