Overlapping menu options with table cells behind in Power Automate Desktop

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 59

Hi all, 

 

I'm trying to automate downloads of files from a webpage, when click on the menu shown below, and try to click on Data option, power automate desktop is taking the values that are in the table behind it. 

 

I tried using arrow keys, selecting an UI element but it does not allow me to select the options in the menu, only the options in the table behind.

How could I achieve this? any suggestion or ideas are highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

    Try using the browser's developer tools to delete the table.

     

    CTRL+I, then right click on the element, then Delete element:

    Then hopefully you can select the element in the menu.

    Thanks @Henrik_M By doing this action, my table is deleted or just hidden?, It is part of a dashboard that other users see and use so I don't want to delete it.

    No data is deleted. It is just the presented element in your browser that is removed while you're on the page.
