IF Logic when updating Excel with Variable

Posted on by nbarta

I receive an email with various fields that I then use Power Automate to update an Excel File. One of the fields is a department. I've assigned this as a variable and then assigned that variable to upload the cell in Excel. My issue is that one of the departments comes across as just the first part of the name, but the Excel file I'm working with needs the full name filled out. I can do this easily with an IF statement in Excel but I'd like to make this fully operable in Power Automate. I've tried this formula but I'm getting an error:

IF(Variables('VerticalFinal')='Admin',concat(variables('VerticalFinal'),'istration'),variables('VerticalFinal')

My logic is: if Vertical Final says Admin then concat it to make it say Adminstration, else place just the VerticalFinal variable name.

Re: IF Logic when updating Excel with Variable

Hi
Replace
IF(Variables('VerticalFinal')='Admin',concat(variables('VerticalFinal'),'istration'),variables('VerticalFinal')
and use this instead
if(equals(variables('VerticalFinal'),'Admin'),concat(variables('VerticalFinal'),'istration'),variables('VerticalFinal'))
Hope this helps

Thanks! That did the trick. I didn't know about the <equals> function.
