    The formula evaluates to null or uses incorrect data types.

    Problem Explanation

    Flow formulas are strict. Any null value in a logical formula can cause unexpected results.

    Root Cause(s)

    1. Null fields in formula

    2. Text vs Number comparison

    3. Incorrect operator usage

    Step-by-Step Solution

    1. Wrap fields with ISBLANK() checks

    2. Ensure consistent data types

    3. Test formula independently using debug

    Edge Cases & Variations

    1. Checkbox fields behave differently in formulas

    2. Picklist comparisons require TEXT()

    Common Mistakes to Avoid

    1. Assuming null equals false

    2. Comparing picklists directly
