Can anyone help me with the issue below:

I am using Power Automate desktop, after I search for " 40522", the result shows 40522 and J40522, but I just wanted to click on the eye link for 40522. How can I do that? I am just stuck at this step. Thank you in advance.

How exactly are you "searching" for it? What actions are you using to click on it? Can you share a screenshot of your flow?

Thank you for the response. I just searched 40522, but the result is shown 2 items because they have the common " 40522" like the image I showed. Please have a look at my flow.

You will likely need to extract the search results first using Extract data from web page and then find the result you want. You can use Find or replace in data table to find the row index of the specific result you want. When you set "match entire cell contents" in Find or replace in data table, it will find exact matches only.

You can then use the row index as a variable in your selector. You will need to modify the selector used for the Press button on web page action. See here for reference on how to modify selectors and use variables in selectors: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors

Hi Agnies, much appreciate your effort, if I search for a value, it shows many results, but I just need one and click the link accordingly. I'm just a newbie, so when I have a chance to practice what you advised me, if it works, I will mark it as the solution. Thank you again.
