Extract data from web page returns blank result values

Posted on by 170

I am extracting information from a website (https://www.ine.pt/xportal/xmain?xpid=INE&xpgid=ine_destaques), and for most of the elements I am able to extract what I want, I did extract text from a <div> and HRef from an <anchor> element, but for the <div> in the image, I am able to select it but once I run the extraction the column for it is created in the datatable of extraction but the values are empty. I even selected process data after extraction since I read it might help but still nothing. I am unable to extract the data from this source, if anyone can help I would really appreciate.Captura de ecrã 2023-09-22 150725.png

    I've checked and it works fine , your extraction may have actually worked but its just the values aren't visible, this bug does occasionally happen, to check whether or not it actually has extracted the value, just print it by setting a new variable to a value in your table and see if its null or not, if its there then the data is actually there, just not visible.

     

    Also, here's how my table looks after extracting:

    Code to get the above just in case as well (just copy paste into PAD)

    WebAutomation.ExtractData.ExtractTable BrowserInstance: Browser Control: $'''html > body > div:eq(1) > div > div:eq(0) > div:eq(2) > div''' ExtractionParameters: {[$'''div:eq(0) > div:eq(0) > div:eq(0) > a''', $'''Own Text''', $'''''', $'''Value #1'''], [$'''div:eq(0) > div:eq(0) > div:eq(1)''', $'''Own Text''', $'''''', $'''Value #2'''], [$'''div:eq(0) > div:eq(0) > div:eq(0) > a''', $'''Href''', $'''''', $'''Value #3'''] } PostProcessData: False TimeoutInSeconds: 60 ExtractedData=> DataFromWebPage

    Thank you so much Pavel, you were right. The values are actually there I just didn't try to use them because I couldn't see them. I tried printing and the value I was looking for showed.
