Comparing nvarchar from SQL database to text value from Excel always returns False

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I'm adding data from an excel table to a database but when doing so I need to compare a dollar amount extracted from the database with a dollar amount from the excel table. The data type of the value from the database is nvarchar(10). 

My issue is that even when the values are the same, condition is equal returns false. See screenshots below:

Any help or suggestion on how to properly compare the values is greatly appreciated !
