How to click on a link from an extracted DataTable

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 431

I have an ExtractData From Web Action that extracted a Data list, the 0th column of which contain links. I then created a For...Next loop to iterate over these links, clicking each one. My next step was Set Variable to identify the current link. I am not sure how to click on this link. Help please, Please see screenshots

    Hi, can you use ‚Go to Web page‘ action instead of trying to click on the link?

    I have a problem that I thought my extraction was working correctly but it isn't actually extractingthe links. I doubt know why yet. When I solve that problem I will try your suggestion. I had actually tried that and that's what made me realize tat I had a problem with the previous step.

    Well, the problem with setting the variable value in the screenshots is that you are missing the percentage symbols around the value and you're also using the current row in a way that is not something PAD would ever understand.

    You already have the %CurrentItem% variable that contains a data row with only the current row. So, use %CurrentItem[0]% to get the value from column 1, %CurrentItem[1]% to get it for column 2, etc.

     

    But since I noticed you mentioned your URLs are not being extracted correctly (possibly because they're not there in the first place), and you need to click on them, I suggest reading the following article on using variables in selectors: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors#use-variables-in-a-custom-selector
