    Us get details from the web page and extract the data which you need to click then use click activity

    You cannot use a sibling element relation in a selector. I can see that this is a table, so, in order to do what you want, I would suggest using Extract data from web page, to extract the entire table. Then use Find or replace in data table to find the row index for the row with "MARCATORI" and then use that index in the selector for the button you want to press.

     

    See here for more reference on how to use variables in a selector: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors
