String Condition Not Working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 41
Hello,
I have a flow that gets responses from an MS Form and, depending on the selection from a range of numbers on the form, is supposed to pass by a condition in my flow and do one of 2 things:
  1. If less than 3.4 it sends an email
  2. If more than 3.4 it continues on to further steps in the flow.
This used to work and has since stopped. I can't determine why.
In fact, I've played around with it over the last few weeks, removing the action and rebuilding it and attempting to delete unseen spaces in the condition string.
Sometimes I get it to work! But then for seemingly no reason it will stop working again.
 
I'm wracking my brain as to what's happening.
I've also lost all faith that this flow will remain operational even if I do managed to get it working.
 
Please help!

    Is less than or equal to can only be used with numbers. You have put the value inside single quotes, which converts it to a string. Remove the single quotes and then also use an expression on your dynamic content to return the value as a float.

    Thank you @David_MA.
    Oddly, the single quotes used to work and then stopped and even then would work intermittently.
     
    Before seeing your reply I changed the single quotes to double quotes and it seems to be working now.
    Does this effectively do what you have suggested?
     
    Cheers!
