Posted on by Scott1231

I am trying to download a file from a report we are trying to run. Every time we run the report the new one shows at the top. The problem is that when I record or create a UI, it always goes back to the one I told it to pick. And at this point it is an old report. I want Power Automate to click on the top of the list/ download the report from the top of the list no matter what.

Please let us see what you have recorded, then someone might help you.
You could do us a favor, by record the top one, and the one just below, would help a bit.

Hi @Scott1231
You need to edit the selectors you captured for the first report to make them dynamic.
Start here:

As@Highboy - post what your current selectors are, and we might be able to advise.

What if you used the keyboard instead.

For example, I can hit a menu drop down and then use the down arrow one time to get the first menu item. From there, I can typically hit Enter or Spacebar to select the highlighted item.

So, after you originally click the List UI:

Send Keys {Down}

Send Keys {Space}

Ensure "Send Text as Hardware Keys" is set to TRUE

Best of luck!
