IF statement for floats and Azure DevOps (ADO)

Posted on by iivanov

Hello,

I am trying to use Flow to add multiple numbers (floats) together and I need to use an IF statement on every field I want to add together because not all the values are required in Azure DevOps.

Here's an example IF statement:

if(empty(body('Get_work_item_details')?['fields']?['Custom_SpInFormsIncorrect']), 0, body('Get_work_item_details')?['fields']?['Custom_SpInFormsIncorrect'])

Unfortunately, the IF statement/empty() function in Flow will only work with integers, strings, and arrays.

Any ideas on how to mitigate?

Thanks!

Hi @iivanov,

Since the variable only support integer, you can convert it into a string by using the String() function.

Hey @iivanov

You can use the string function to convert the body (the float value to a string and compare and then update the variable accordingly)

Expression:

if(empty(string(variables('e'))),0,variables('e'))

Hope this Helps!
