Compare the month of a date using the If function

[Enrique1]

I’m trying something very simple and I don’t know why it doesn’t work.
I store in the variable mes_hoy the month of the current date. In this case, the result is 4.

In the next module with variables, I want to assign certain values depending on whether the month is January or April, and I do this with the If function. If the month = 1, I will put a value here (for example, I have put it is 1). And if it is different, I will put another value (for example, I have put it is another).

When I run the scenario, although the value of the mes_hoy variable is equal to 4, the result of the if gives me as true the value of the expression mes_hoy = 1.

I don’t understand the reason and I have tried with quotes, without quotes, turning everything into text, into number, but it does not evaluate the condition of the if correctly.

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hey @Enrique1 ,

You should use the equal operator of make instead of typing it via your keyboard.

Oh my God!! Indeed, that was it. Thank you very much! It’s not the first time this has happened to me; I’m not used to selecting the symbols instead of typing them.
