Use If Expression to Evaluate a Variable

[Anonymous]

I am trying to write an if expression to return a specific value if the statement is true.  Here is what I am hoping to accomplish.

I have a variable of type String:  strAutoRenewValue that is set using a Yes/No column in SharePoint Document Library column.  If the value is Yes, I want it to return "IS" or "IS NOT" if No. Below is what I have been I get expression not valid. What am I doing wrong?

if(equals(strAutoRenewValue, 'Yes'), 'IS', 'IS NOT')

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please use this expression :

if(equals(variables(variables('strAutoRenewValue')), 'Yes'), 'IS', 'IS NOT') 

Thanks

Thank you @ManishJain .  When I tried to save I get the following error that I am not sure what to do with. Seems like variables in the expressions need to declare?

The template validation failed: 'The template action 'SetAutoRenewalValue' at line '1' and column '6094' is not valid: "The template function 'variables' is not expected at this location.".'.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Don't you have variable "strAutoRenewValue " declared at the beginning to be precise. Please share screenshot of your flow to help further.

Thanks

I do. Here is a screenshot.

If this is a SharePoint Yes/No column, you need to be testing in you if expression or condition for true or false and not Yes or No.

if(equals(strAutoRenewValue, true), 'IS', 'IS NOT')

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try the following configuration:

if(equals(variables('strAutoRenewValue'),true),'IS','IS NOT')
