I am trying to build a flow which is triggered by a form, which then checks the data received against a price list on excel. Once it works out which price is correct, it will populate a word template ready to be sent off as a quote.

My current issue is at switch, where it fails due to the error (an unexpected exception encountered when evaluating branching condition) on the correct case. If i were to leave case blank with just the equals value everything runs fine. Its when i try to continue the flow it gives me the error. I'm trying to use compose in each of the cases but I have a feeling i'm missing a step. I've also tried just populating the word template with a set value instead but it still comes up with the error. Any guidance would be greatly appriciated.

@conorsanchez
What is the output of the Compose action above the Switch action? If your value is an integer, you will need to use an expression in the Switch cases to convert the 10 into an integer.

Try the int() function.
