I need to add a number to one of the payload parameters. If the payload.zone parameter is 45 and embed this #[payload.zone + 1] I get 451. Rather I want the result to be 46. What expression will allow that?
Thanks!
As I can see zone is a String object. For that reason, you are getting 451. To get the expected value you can convert to integer
#[Integer.parseInt(payload.zone) + 1]

The below line of code is returning as a 1 instead of a 2, for reasons I can't comprehend.
console.write(Format((87.20 \ 43.60)))
Surely this should return the result of 2 but I've checked in another environment and it returns a can anyone tell me why?
I have tried putting the code into a second environment but the result was the same I don't understand why it is returning 1 instead of 2, can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks for the help but found the answer.
Decimals are converted to Long before Integer division and due to this are subject to banker's rounding, multiplying both numbers by a 100 before the operation resolves the issue.

Thanks,
While I am glad you resolved your own question, I did want to provide an alternative.
When you use the integer division operator, you do not have control as to how the rounding should occur. Whereas if you do a floating-point division operator you can keep the precision and then use one of the built-in Math class methods (documentation) to specify how the number should round.
Take a look at this example:
Dim result = 87.20 / 43.60
Dim roundUp = Math.Ceiling(result)
Dim roundDown = Math.Floor(result)
Dim bankersRounding = Math.Round(result)

Because in your example you are using Console.Write (which treats the data as a String) you do not need to cast the value to an Integer data type. However, if you needed the value as an Integer, any one of those variables outside result can be safely converted to an Integer using the Parse method (documentation).
This Id column is dynamic type, but only holds 1 value (f3019...). I want to get rid of the array so it only has the field value.
When I try mv-expand Id it doesn't do anything
Also the current query is like:
Id = Target.Properties[0].value
When I try
Id = Target.Properties[0].value[0]
Id returns a blank
The dynamic types can hold arrays and dictionaries, but also scalar types.
The fact that Target.Properties[0].value does not behave like an array indicates that it is not an array, but a string.
The representation of it as an array in the GUI relates to the serving lair and not the way it is actually stored.
Use tostring(parse_json(tostring(Target.Properties[0].value))[0]).
Every element within a dynamic field is also of dynamic type.
When running on a dynamic element, parse_json() returns the element As Is.
If we want the element to get parsed, we first need to convert it to string, using tostring().
parse_json() which is used to parse the string, returns an array (which is a dynamic element).
The first (and only) element of the array is also of a dynamic type.
We use an additional tostring() to convert it to string.
Demo
print value = dynamic('["Hello"]')
| extend value[0] // Null because it's not really an array
| extend result = tostring(parse_json(tostring(value))[0])
value
value_0
result
["Hello"]
Hello

Misleading representation in Azure Monitor:
I want to build this complete URL:
locahost/some/path?param1=%06
using org.apache.http.client.utils.URIBuilder method setParameter(final String param, final String value). At its javadoc, there's line:
The parameter name and value are expected to be unescaped and may contain non ASCII characters
But when I use setParameter("param1","%06") I always get ...param1=%2506 instead of ...param1=%06. Looking here I noticed percent sign is 25 in hex.
Should I parse this manually or there's a way to keep using URIBuilder and keep the parameters as is?
I have tried everything that I can think of to get the right date format. Can anybody help with this RPA-problem in UiPath. I have used the 'get text' activity to get the folder date and after that tried to use the
Datetime.ParseExact(Str variable,"dd/MM/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).
It gives me the error:
Assign: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
Your help is much appreciated.
edit: I have now sought help from a friend who figured it out. The error was in the string, which could not be seen, because there was an invisible character in the string that I extracted through 'get text' activity. The solution is in 2 steps:
assign another variable to the exact same date and use an if statement to find out if these two strings are equal and you will find out that they are not.
Now use a regex to capture only digits and slash/hyphen which will get rid of the invisible character.
Try to use "dd_MM_yyyy" instead of "dd/MM/yyyy".
The reason is because UiPath/VB.Net has a habit of using US date formatting even though you're using Culture Info...It's a real pain
Try this:
pDateString = "21/02/2020"
Assign a Date type variable = Date.ParseExact(pDateString,"dd/MM/yyyy",nothing)
Here we're telling the parser to use English format date...The Date type returned will be in US format but you can simply convert back to uk IF needed by using something like:
pDateString("dd/MM/yyyy")
I'm trying to build a bank file using SSRS report builder (3.0). I'm running into two issues:
I'm trying to get a length expression to work on a check number field but LEN(Field) doesn't work (returns 4 as the value regardless of the actual length of the field).
And LENGTH(Field) gives me an error:
The Value expression for the textrun 'Textbox15.Paragraphs[0]. TextRuns[0\' contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'LENGTH' is not declared*
The only reason why I'm even trying to get #1 to work is because I need to have one of the fields on the bank file have a constant length. Regardless of the check number, I need to make sure this field is always at 14 characters with leading zeros. I thought the best way to do this is to do a switch statement and add the number of appropriate zeros in depending on the size of the check number field.
Thanks for the help.
Edit: using a SQL server DB
For the length issue:
There are two ways to get string length
Using the LEN function
= LEN(Fields!myfield.Value)
Using the length property
= Fields!myfield.Value.Length
If your field is not a string, try converting first by using the Cstr function
= LEN( Cstr(Fields!myfield.Value) )
= Cstr(Fields!myfield.Value).Length
For the formatting issue:
For numeric fields set the cell format expression to have as many zeros as required eg. for 14 digit numbers
= "00000000000000"
I don't know on which database you are working if you are using sql server then try LEN
function and LENGHT in oracle.
I think you first convert it into integer if it's character and then try len function.
