Posted on by 7

I have a web page to manage vouchers for wifi guest users. When I create a new voucher a new row is created at the top of the table. I need to select the value of the column Code in the first row, dinamically. If I use the recorder it create a step that use the specific value in that cell.

    Hi @mario19751 

     

    The idea is that you need to fix the target to get the value from the Row 1 only, then you need to search where the row 1 is there and instead of capturing the value, you can make it * to get the dynamic value from the row 1, can check where the selector is differentiating from the row 1 and row 2

    If you're new to Power Automate Desktop, I'd recommend an alternative approach for your scenario.


    After initiating your browser action, add the "Extract Data from Webpage" action. Once added to your workspace, it will display actions like the following:

    Next, navigate to your browser where Power Automate activates the live helper. Right-click on the cell value you wish to extract. For instance, in the example below, I aim to extract the first column of the table cell. Simply right-click on the target cell, choose "Extract Element Value," then select the target cell value (in your case, it's code - 024122).

    Repeat these steps for the second row cell as follows: Right-click on the target cell, choose "Extract Element Value," then select the target cell value (in your case, it's code - 221069).

    This will compile all your first row column values as shown below. Simply click "Finish."

    You will then receive the details in a variable named "Datafromwebpage" as depicted in the screenshots.

    You can now retrieve the first value of your results. I hope this explanation helps.

     

    My flow looks like below:
