Click on CurrentRow in For each row in data table

Hello,

I am pretty new to Ui Path and I have been struggling with the following problem for weeks now, maybe someone can help me.

I am using a desktop application that contains a data table. What I want is to click on an element in each row of the data table. The Data table does not start or end with a fixed row number in the locator.

What I tried to do is extract the data table and then use “for each row in data table” to iterate through each row, then I tried unsuccessfully to get the currently used row number out of the “CurrentRow” element.

What I would also like is the workflow to check for a value in another column and if it is present then do anther set of actions.

I hope I have described the situation well enough so someone can help me.

Many thanks in advance!

Use the value you want to search in your selector to find it may be in a name attribute as it is a desktop application

Hi, in what selector should I look for it? The click selector?

please clarify your question as it little bit confusing so that we can get good understanding to solve it.

  1. what you mean by: The Data table does not start or end with a fixed row number in the locator.

  2. the desktop app you using contains any data which you are extracting to datatable?

  3. explain this ?

Hi Hammad,
I will try to explain it a bit better.

The data table is a mail inbox, with the first collumn beeing the name and the others beeing other attrebuits of the mail.

  1. The Data table is on different days a different size (its a mail application, not outlook or anything similar though). What i meant was I am not working with a fixed number of rows. Sometime I want to click on all rows that contain a certain name.

  2. the Desktop app has a data table which i am extracting using “extract data table”

  3. So basically I would I the workflow to check each row for a simbol and then do another set of actions.

I think my Problem is easily solved by just checking each row for the name of the person whos mail i want to print, while also checking for the simbol.
The reason why I would like to filer my data table using “filter data table” is the issue of speed as the data table can get quit big (40 rows and 19 collumns)

I hope this helps
thank you in advance!
