Dynamic UI Element Selector With PowerFx Enabled does not work

Posted on by RVF99

Hi everyone,

I'm trying something simple with PAD, but it is not working when I have PowerFx enabled.

Using windows calculator, I would like to have a variable/input to choose which number should be selected.
From 0 to 9, the button ID is simple: button[Id="num4Button"]. The idea is to replace the number for the input and let the PAD click.

Without PowerFx enabled it works, button[Id="num%NewInput%Button"].

With PowerFx enabled, it does not work. I'm able to test the element, it finds it. But when the robot is running, it fails.
I've tried a few combinations of code for ID, without success.

Can someone help me?
Kr,
RVF

Hi ,
I need help

I need to automate your application using Power Automate. If the flow is successful, update the status in an Excel report as "UP" for the application. If errors occur, update the status in the Excel report as "DOWN". Additionally, send an Outlook email if all applications' statuses in the Excel sheet are "UP". I have multiple web-based applications to test and update their status in the same Excel sheet. Could you please guide me on how to achieve this?
thanks in advance
