Hello everyone,

I am extracting data from a website (https://www.gfma.org/global-market-policies/) using the Extract data from web page action and I would like to know if there is a way to limit the number of values extracted. I'll explain, the image below is where I am extracting from.

In total, and not all in the image there are 10 entries visible. And those are the ones that are apparently selected, but it is auto selecting the remaining entries that would show up if the button "Load More" was pressed. And as a result of that I end up with a datatable with 488 rows when I would like to only have the first 10.

Thanks in advance for any help

You cannot directly limit the number of entries extracted in this action. But you can process only the first n rows by building a loop that goes to 10 (or 9, as indexes are 0-based) instead of the end of the table.

Yeah that's what I have been doing to set it to process only a certain number but thanks anyway. Now I know that it's not possible.
