Hi Dojo,
I have a long string of characters that includes special symbols. I want to store it in a variable and use it in conditions within Visio.

Is there a way to use such a string as a variable without worrying about special characters?

Hi Yahya,
Small question, which specific data shape are you using for condition? Are you using extended conditional shape:
