Eval=case not working

Probably a simple one but......my Eval case statement does not seem to work correctly

...| eval operation=case(TagValue >0, "Running", True(), "Off") | table TagValue operation

When the TagValue is 0.00446 I am still getting "Running". Any idea why?

Hi @stevenbutterworth,

As per condition defined in case, if TagValue is greater than 0 then "Running". And your TagValue is 0.00446 So getting value "Running" is proper. Can you please clear me if I'm wrong..?

Would agree on that. Also, for the case shown above, you can simply use if() instead of case() 🙂

Because 0.00446 is larger than 0?
