I've tried it with Debian/Stretch v5.1.2.2.0+ and Windows 7 v5.1.3. If I
was running anything old or unusual, I would have noted it. The document is
simple, as is the spreadsheet and the base file that connects them.
I tried changing the numbers to text but Base doesn't seem to allow that.
It's decided that the columns for age and place are decimal numbers.
So far as I can see, either the number comparisons operate differently
from the text comparisons (which the documentation doesn't mention) or the
number comparisons are broken. Normally I'd consider that unlikely, but my
past experience with printing "form letters" and labels is that these areas
don't get a lot of attention.

I'm trying to print certificates for a group of athletes and need
to have them reflect their standing in the event. The certificate
has a number of conditional text fields, such as to translate
their gender from M/F to male/female, which are working.
However the ones that are doing numeric comparisons aren't. The
comparison always seems to return "true" so the "then" condition
is printed. For example Run Results.Race.place == 1 is the
condition but the translation text is always "first place", never
empty. Since I have 5 different conditions (first 3 positions,
participate, supported), I get a lot of text printed that shouldn't.
The slightly more complex Run Results.Race.age > 18 AND Run
Results.Race.age < 60 always prints adult. At one point I had it
print an else (senior) but that branch was never taken even when
the age was well past 60.
I've checked the Run Results.odb file (which links to a
spreadsheet) and the age & place fields are both of type decimal.
What am I doing wrong?
