    Can you give screenshots of the flow and what is not working?
    Is this what you are trying to do?

    You can copy and paste the code here and modify it to work with your flow:


     

    WebAutomation.LaunchChrome.AttachToChromeByUrl TabUrl: $'''https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Desktop/saving-an-exvel-output-of-webscraping-with-specified-name-and/m-p/2669966#M38489''' AttachTimeout: 5 BrowserInstance=> Browser
    WebAutomation.ExtractData.ExtractSingleValueInExcel BrowserInstance: Browser ExtractionParameters: {[$'''html > body > div:eq(1) > div:eq(3) > div > div > div > div:eq(0) > div:eq(2) > div:eq(1) > div > div:eq(0)''', $'''Own Text''', $''''''] } TimeoutInSeconds: 60 ExcelInstance=> ExcelInstance5
    DateTime.GetCurrentDateTime.Local DateTimeFormat: DateTime.DateTimeFormat.DateOnly CurrentDateTime=> CurrentDateTime
    Text.ConvertDateTimeToText.FromCustomDateTime DateTime: CurrentDateTime CustomFormat: $'''ddMMyyyy''' Result=> CurrentDateTime
    SET FilePath TO $'''C:\\Users\\YourUserName\\Downloads\\'''
    SET FileName TO $'''YourFileName%CurrentDateTime%'''
    Excel.SaveExcel.SaveAs Instance: ExcelInstance5 DocumentFormat: Excel.ExcelFormat.OpenXmlWorkbook DocumentPath: $'''%FilePath%%FileName%.xlsx'''
