Identifying why a Condition is failing

Posted on by Jason-E

I have a flow with a simple condition. I have a variable "varCount" which is initialized as an Integer with a value of 0. Later I have a condition that simply checks "IF varCount = 0", do action.

However, the condition keeps returning false. I even tried wrapping the 0 in an "int(0)". Still the condition returns false and the action does not process.

What is really frustrating is that when reviewing runs, all Power Automate shows is the condition result "true" or "false". It doesn't display the actual parameters of the condition. It would be very nice to be able to see what the condition is actually processing so that I could gain some understanding as to why 0 <> 0.

Can you try wrapping the variable aswell in an int()? And see if that makes a difference.

you can also try adding a compose step before the condition to see the 2 values and if they actually are both integers.

Doh, it was a stupid mistake on my part. Not having had coffee yet today.

Apparently I typed out "varCount" instead of selecting the variable.

Instead of

It's now working once I realized my mistake.
