    Re: Failed to extract data (web page error while extracting data).

    It says "Data extraction element not found"

    Please try to use the Extract date from webpage once again and recapture the data you want to extract.

     

    Also you are using Sendkeys.

    Use Wait stages wherever needed.

    Make sure the screen is available for PAD when "Extract data from webpage" happens.
