Hi Everyone,

 

When comparing the 01/07/2022 is greater than 10/01/2021 the answer is false. It is supposed to be true.

Why is the answer is false?  Here's the output below.

    hi @Boynogs123  it is two string you compare, and both are of the same length hence the false

     

    try  comparing

    ticks(formatDateTime(variables('varDateOne'),'M/d/yyy'))

    ticks(formatDateTime(variables('varDateTwo'),'M/d/yyy'))

    Result (true)

    changing varDdateOne
