Hello All,

I am trying to download files from a website. each page table has 8 cells. I built a flow and it works if I am trying to select number one file from each table. but it does not work for the second one. It always bring back to the first page and download the second cell from first page. I tried removing "> dataitem[Name*="TManifestV1_13418067.xml"]". But if I do that it selects first cell one more time.

how do i fix it?

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I've had something similar?

Can you tab to the required icon and press the Space or Enter bar. I used to download 100s of statements from a similar setup and I had 23 tabs up front and then on a loop for 7 tabs in between each "View" link and was able to get them that way.

Good luck!

Hi Riyaz, @Ahammad_Riyaz
Only thing I can see is changing is the dataitem[Name]. If i run the flow with the same name it just keep downloading same file again and again and if i remove the file name it only download the first file from each page.

So here you got it, the name will be changing right, now first extract the table and pass the variable inside

custom[Name="Click to select file."] > dataitem[Name="%currentitem%"]"
