Why does variable using countrow return wrong value?

I have a collection of 3 items. Consider the following code:

Set( varAmount, CountRows(collection));
Notify(Text(varAmount) & " --- " & Text(CountRows(collection)));

For some reason, this is the output:

2 --- 3

How come these are not exactly the same value, when used like this?

Your code works properly when I test it in my environment. A list with 12 items returns:
12 --- 12
Have you tried it on other data sources to see if the incorrect behavior shows? If so, I suggest starting a support ticket with Microsoft.

I have figured out the solution. It turns out I had another local variable with the same name, causing the smaller scope to win (this var was set at 2). The solution in my case was to eliminate/rename the local var.
