@Cfis To troubleshoot your expression, use a Compose action to store the expression that just checks to see whether or not the working weeks section is empty:
empty(item()?['Offer Letter - Working Weeks'])
If this expression alone isn't returning the results you are expecting, you'll need to adjust the expression until it outputs the result you are looking for.
Additionally, you can use another Compose action to output this expression:
int(item()?['Offer Letter - Working Weeks'])
Check to see if the output of this expression is what you are expecting. To troubleshoot an expression, break it out into separate parts.
