Error when comparing a text variable with a text constant

The variable ’AccessibilityRole‘ get a nvarchar(50) type value "adm" from SQL in last steps.

But it seems not equal when directly compared to text "adm".

The comparison formula become "adm"=adm, thus the result is False.

How can I get such strings variables correctly compared?

    Hi @flurricane0304 

     

    Please try to use the formula Text() to convert variable to a text representation.

     

    Best regards,

    Sylvia

    I've tried it before I post this question, it didn't work.

    Still a "adm" and adm comparison

    And IsMatch() cant be used for variables as we know.

    Hi @flurricane0304 

    You can use the Trim function to remove any leading or trailing spaces from the variable before comparing it to the text constant. For example:

     
    Trim(AccessibilityRole) = "adm"
     
    Thanks!
