Hello,

I’m going to try to explain this as clearly as possible, but it’s not going to be easy 😀.

I have two modules :  
 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/6/2/62fee9fa227ec6d27767efce36c0f8c404d9eade.png)

I have a first module (Set Variable) like this :

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/0/d/0d591bf2afb661b81776111f9a20e440699e2f24.png)

And a second one with a mapping to the first one :

When i run this scenario, the result is ok =\> 5

Now i want to change the logic. I got 3 modules. I add a “Google Sheets / Get range values” between the two “Set Variables” :

In my spreadsheet i have one information (a mapping instruction) :  
 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/1/e/1ec194ede055deed20bb2f3857133c049a5c3f1d.png)

An the second “Set variable” module is mapped like this :

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/3/d/3da208f67ae2cdaa9599fa4b50237acbc13d1602.png)

I don’t get the information from the first “set variable” module anymore but from the “Google Sheets” module.

But when i run the scenario now :

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/7/0/70f1362d1f951bb99a02938c3cc21e951e063492.png)

The result is not ok because the module don"t get the mapping, it takes it like … text.

Do you see the problem ? Any idea or solution please?

Thanks a lot

Welcome to the Make community!

You cannot dynamically use Make field RAW values stored in an external service.

The external service stores it as a string.

You are setting the Variable 2 as a string – whatever is contained in that cell/range. It does not convert the string into a Make field RAW value.

This is not a bug.
