I'm having an issue with a Condition that I created that is giving me the following error:

"The provided types 'Object' and 'Object' are incompatible."

I've been struggling with this flow for almost a month now and finally got to a point I was sure it was going to work. I'm still hitting my head against a condition where I am attempting to compare a number field from a SharePoint list against a number generated by my flow.

I finally attempted to brute force it by comparing the following fields:

I simply took the output from "Compose" and put it in "Compose 2". Why isn't Power Automate accepting these as being equal? I tried changing the condition function to "contains" and that is when I received the 'Object' and 'Object' are incompatible statement. If I use the "is equal to" function, the result if "false".

Thank you for your help.

Hi , @coffeejunkie79

I test it in my side ,it also return false when i use the "is equal to" .

You can try to use the expression to judge like this:

equals(outputs('Compose'),outputs('Compose_2'))

true

Hi v-yueyen-msft. Thank you for your reply.

This doesn't appear to be working for me. I'm not sure if this is because the DocNumber is pulled from a SharePoint list? Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi , @coffeejunkie79

Thanks for your response ! I test it in my side , this is due to the data from sharepoint will return like this:
{"DocNumber":1.0}

So you need to add the int() function in your "Select" function.

int(item()?['DocNumber'])

Then we can use this function to judge :

equals(outputs('Compose'),outputs('Compose_2'))
