Trouble using If() expression

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

In my flow I want to use a if() expression to check a vaue (type=string) and convert it to boolean value.

The input = Ja (dutch for yes) 

 

My syntax of the expression: if(['30% regeling'],'Ja','true','false')

 

I keep having an error. Anybody an idea?

 

thx!

Alex

    Hi @ALute ,

    Try these:

    if(contains(['30% regeling'],'Ja'),'true','false')
    if(equals(['30% regeling'],'Ja'),'true','false')
     
    Cheers,
    Aman
