Hello,
I am facing a somewhat specific problem with an Action Flow.
I am using the Get rows module to retrieve, depending on the input variable, the column from one table or another.

 

The variable directly affects the name of the table I am retrieving. No problem there; depending on the input parameter, the module behaves normally. 
The problem occurs in the next module, when I use the Text Aggregator to group the data according to this specific field. 
The name of the Get Rows module variable changes depending on the value of my input parameter. 
Here is what I tried to do, which works when the parameter is 1 but does not work when the input variable is 2. 
 



Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem? 

Thank you, have a good evening.

Hello ​@alexandre.vilan12 ,

what I have noticed here is that you used = as it is. Could you try using the = that is in the action flow input area (marked in green)? 

I have had problems when using the “normal” operators in the formulas before and once I have added the ones that are in the action flow respository my functions worked.

Maybe that helps you too.

    Hello,

    I wouldn't have thought the problem could be solved so easily, thank you very much for sharing! Any idea why this works?

    Actually, I still have a problem. 

    Before, when my variable was equal to 1, it worked with the ‘classic’ equal sign, but not if the parameter was 2. 

    Now, with the Celonis symbol, it's the opposite: it no longer works when my simulation variable is 1, but now works when it is 2.

    I don't really understand it in the end, but thank you for your help, it is greatly appreciated!

    Hello ​@alexandre.vilan12 , that is very weird indeed. I guess it is just a try and error because I cannot explain this behavior also. I would try to put the 1 in ‘ ‘ in case it is not transferred via integer but other than that, it looks all fine to me.
