You can also use the text substring function to remove digits without rounding. ---

So uhm… this kinda fixed it. I really don’t know what is going wrong now because it only matches my latitude, And my longitude should also match! When i make it output ThisLong it matches exactly but when i output found longitude found in row # it just says 0 ![IMG_0023.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/1/118743e614893a6a15c669810a5bbef550d5b336.jpeg) ![IMG_0022.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/0/d063149ef0e722944d619d6d067cf6146b12d102.jpeg) ![Knipsel](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/2/d27d5c6dcac52477836a0a9f891219a0fb31a851.jpeg) ![Knipsel](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/9/c963e5383602134d4201425c1ac2653a00b79593.jpeg) ---

What I do in a situation like this is to assign a label’s text to each value — the variable and the data source cell. I join those values with “bookend” characters such as “#” at the start and end so that I can see any misplaced spaces, etc. For example, maybe your variable value is #-77.0364,38.8951# and your data source value is #-77.0364,38.8951 # (trailing space) or #77.0364,38.8951# (missing minus symbol). **Post those bookended values** and we can help you figure out why it’s not matching. Also be aware of variable “types.” You can’t compare a number to a text string. I don’t think that’s the problem here but it’s good to be aware of. To eliminate this, join each value with a blank string (“”) to force them to be strings. **Helpful tip:** if you assign the values to text inputs instead of labels, you can copy and paste the results. ---

Hmmm so this really worked which is actually great! and i also found the issue… For some reason thunkable removes zero’s after comma’s! 1. is the output 2. is from my airtable. And i think this is what mismatches them… But i think thunkable removes the 0 after the double 8’s because in my airtable it does show them! ![InkedIMG_0024_LI](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/6/269031227be3c517a8eb5166c876f1ee3726a072.jpeg) ---

That tells me that you’re storing the values as numbers. Because a number such as 78.2200 will be stored as 78.22. So you may need to store it as text which would be “78.2200” ---

Ahh, so i would need to make them a variabel first? and than insert that variable where it should look for it? ---

Variables don’t have anything to do with it because variables can store any type of value. It’s more about forcing the value you’re storing to be a particular _type_. Can you change the column format in Airtable from a number to single line text? I just tried this with Airtable and I was able to display the value 51.26778800 in a label and it included the trailing zeroes. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/c/cc3d44a0e6410c2fb44cf12dd1f6f3720a6d837b.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/a/1a47af76a32a4f462612171852722c5e4afc75be.png) ---
