What is the Equals() operator?
Equals() is an operator that returns True/False depending on if two values are equal or not. Equals() is case sensitive, comparisons between two values that might be using different casings can be achieved by utilizing a Lower() or Upper() functions together with Equals.
Equals() logic
| Syntax | {{Equals(Value1, Value2)}} |
| Output | True/False |
Equals() operator examples
Example 1
Using the Equals() operator to check if two values are equal.
| Binding | {{Equals("this is text", "this is text")}} |
| Output | True |
| Binding | {{Equals("this is text", "this is another text")}} |
| Output | False |
Example 2
Using the Equals() operator together with Lower() to match the casing used and make a comparison.
| Binding | {{Equals(Lower("this is text"), Lower("THIS IS TEXT"))}} |
| Output | True |
Example 3
Using the Equals() operator together with Not() and Lower() to match the casing used and make a comparison.
| Binding | {{Not(Equals(Lower("this is text"), Lower("THIS IS TEXT")))}} |
| Output | False |
Example 4
Using the Equals() operator together with IfElse() and Lower() to match the casing used in the "RecipientA" and the "RecipientB" questions originating from the response form and make a comparison. If the values are equal, the output should be "Send to the recipient listed above", otherwise the value for "RecipientB" should be shown.
| Binding | {{IfElse(Equals(Lower(Form.RecipientA), Lower(Form.RecipientB)), "Send to the recipient listed above", Form.RecipientB)}} | |
| Input | Form.RecipientA = "John Smith"
Form.RecipientB = "john smith" |
Form.RecipientA = "John Smith"
Form.RecipientB = "John Doe" |
| Condition |
True |
False |
| Output | "Send to the recipient listed above" | "John Doe" |
