When I enter a filter expression in features, such as “Name” is “On The Register” it seems that the match is an exact match, including text case. In general, I think paying attention to case is inappropriate because it is quite easy to forget whether you capitalized a word or not. I got tripped up on the above expression when the value I was looking for was “On the Register”, not “On The Register”.

Sometimes a user will log in more than once and sometimes users log in and the first letter of their email address is capitalized. This shows as a unique value to my other sheets. I’m curious what others do to prevent this behaviour. I can’t ensure that users always log in with the same case in their email addresses, so I’m looking…
