Good afternoon All Power Automate Experts

I am new to the power automate platform. I have across a roadblock and needing some help. I am working to automate disabling accounts in a web application. The problem is the customer has multiple accounts and I only want to disable 1 account. When I am building the flow, what logic can I use to "tell" power automate desktop to check the correct account number and disable?

For an example, in the attached image, I need the flow to disable the 2nd account that starts with 3300 only. How can I build this with power automate desktop.

I used a recorder to do these steps.

Many thanks in advance

I would try using "Extract data from web page" -action and see if you can get the content as table.

Then use "Find or replace in data table" -action and find the account number 3300xxxx. If match is found then take that row position into a variable and insert that into Account Enabled -toggle UI elements Ordinal

You have to do it with Text editor -enabled. PAD has a long lasting bug that it doesn't save variables that you put in an Attribute that takes in numerical values.
So like this:

Dummy flow with testing site looks like this:

If there could be more than just one 3300xxxx account number in that view then you need to loop them by retrieving the row column to a list and looping that.
