Hello,
I might missed something, because my string doesn’t equal the other string.
which mystring1 = “19/04/2019” and mystring2 = “19/04/2019”
but if i do mystring1 = “19/04/2019” direcltly it works?
I’m using two variable, for this purpose they have the same value. so why when i try mystring1 = mystring2 doesn’t work? btw on a switch
i mean it doesn’t choose the correct case
but works with if condition…
With switches the cases can’t be variables but instead arguments, hence why it doesn’t work when you put the name of the variable in because it sees it as a string. But it will work when you 19/04/2019 as a string as the case.

Fine
Can i have a view on the switch case if possible a screenshot and the variable mystring1 declaration as well
Or
Try to mention the value in the case without double quotes
that would be the issue i guess as it should work for sure
Cheers @mz3bel
You are right, it takes it with double quotes
I can show code sorry, i know the issue now it’s the double quotes, but i can’t put the value directly because it’s changes. I have to use variables…
yes of course we can use variables in cases, but make sure that the type argument is changed as string in the switch activity property panel
Cheers @mz3bel
Yes, it is, and both variables too
Great
So were you now able to get that working
Cheers @mz3bel
Actualy no, that’s what i ve done before. I must defently missed something
both the expression and cases are variables
You may want to consider this:
Fine usually i hope we give only in case where the expression has the variable or arguments…so that could be the issue, I tried to reproduce this issue from side, variable in the case didn’t work, only value when passed to case it works…i tried to figure out whether it is correct or not in microsoft docs as well
So i would suggest you have the expression with the variables and create n number of cases with the value that you feelwill reflect (as you said the value might change)
Cheers @mz3bel
Ok, i’m trying this way
I’ll try this way too, if i don’t succed i will find an other way
So it worked for me, i did this
If(myVar.Contains(myVar1),“myVar1”, If(myVar.Contains(myVar2),“myVar2”, If(myVar.Contains(myVar3),“myVar3”, If(myVar.Contains(myVar4),“myVar4”, “Default”))))
So for those who wants to use variable on case switch, use this… 
Big thanks to @Ellboy and @Palaniyappan
Fantastic
Cheers @mz3bel
