Add UI element for Filter option in Excel not working because it does not recognize the button

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

First baby steps in Power Automate desktop. I wanted to use the Filter option in Excel (tried via Desktop Recorder and via Add UI Elements) but the button is not recognized. It just draws a Window around a larger portion of the screen. All the other buttons in the ribbon are recognized correctly. Is this a bug in the current version of PAD?

    Hi Steve,

     

    Which version of PAD are you using now? 

    It is working fine for me in this PAD version:

    Here is my excel version:

    Thanks and hope it can help you.

    Hi Mike, the issue appears to be linked to me working on an external monitor. When using only the laptop's monitor, the 'image mapping' works fine but once hooked up to the external monitor, it's very touch & go experience-wise.

    Will have to keep that in mind 🙂
