Power Automate Desktop - problem getting the correct custom CSS selector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by rickFL 30

Hi all,

 

I want to fill in a form on a web based app that we used, but I can't seem to find the right selector.

 

I want PAD to look at the value in the excel cell and then choose that value from the drop-down menu. The value is always a currency such as EUR or GBP.

 

When I inspect the element it shows this:

My own selector looks like this

 

iframe[Id="SMFrame"] div[Text="%ExcelData[LoopIndex][16]%"]

 

Can someone please help me here? I'm still learning about custom CSS selectors. 😊

    BTW I also tried iframe[Id="SMFrame"] div[Key="%ExcelData[LoopIndex][16]%"]

     

    This didn't work either... 😕

    Hi guys,

     

    I found a solution that works!

     

    iframe[Id="SMFrame"] div[Class="type-ahead-list-item"][Text="%ExcelData[LoopIndex][16]%"]

     

    Please let me know if you have another/better solution.
