Hello,
I want to send Ctrl+1 in Excel sheets using Send Keys Actions in Power Automate Desktop.
I have Tried with {Control} ({1}), but it is not working as Expected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Hi @Swatiba
Ctrl 1 didn't seem to work with the attempts I made.
What are you trying to do with the Format Cells dialog box?
Try toggling the hardware keys selection in the parameters screen of send keys, and try removing the brackets from 1, just leave the parenthesis.
if neither of those work, try Press Key and do Control Down then try sending keys with just 1, no parenthesis, no brackets. Then a Press Key for Control Up.
good luck
