Hi,

Right now, I'm trying to populate a Document with information from a Form. One of the answers is a number, specifically a duration. The answer is made in number. Is there a way to format it to be in text?

For example, I need an "8" to be spelled "eight" an so forth.

Thanks.

Hi @GS-21041625-0

Your best bet is to define a Key/Value pair json. where you can plug in the # and get back the value

Like

{

Number: 8,

Name: "eight"

}

Then in your code you can do a lookup against the parse json schema to essentially grab the Name value when the Number is 8

I dont know how many numbers you have but they are all just based on single digit things added together, so 1129 could still be done by looking up 1 then 1 again then 2 then 9 and it will give you the entire "name"

A map might be the better option here:

outputs('Compose-Numbers')[string(outputs('Compose-No'))]

You can easily get such a map with the help of Copilot:

... or just use an array:

outputs('Compose-Numbers')[outputs('Compose-No')]
