Condition always resulting in true

Hello,

I have a flow where I'm trying to compare 2 values. One set from D365 BC Parse JSON, and the other set from a List Rows action. If one set, or the other set, are not equal to each other ((D365)Country != (Dataverse)Country or (D365)State != (Dataverse)State) then the condition should evaluate true and do some things, if false do some different things. Here's a screen shot:

I've tried with the conditional action as well as a compose action with an expression. It always seems to evaluate true no matter what. The record I'm testing with shows in the compose 2 action that both country codes are equal, and that both county/state are null values (because these values weren't entered in CRM/Dataverse). I'm thinking the NULL values are what is causing this to be an issue, but could be wrong about that. Unsure, any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @smw356239

bit confused, does the value dynamic content coming as output of parse json was also null ? or does it have some values ?

So, for the country (top value in condition) both have values. For the state/province (bottom value) both are null.

Hi @smw356239

null should be equal to null (gives result as true, i have tested), could you confirm both are null values or empty values or any of one is null and other empty?

you can confirm whether a value is empty or not using empty() function.

Yes, both values returned empty as True in a compose action I did.

An expression like

A != B or A != C

is always true if B != C 😉

I assume that you want this:

A != B and A != C

What I'm trying to accomplish is comparing stringA1 and stringA2 against one another to see if they're equal, and stringB1 and stringB2 against one another. If either one of those aren't equal, do something. If they are equal do something else.
