Currency conversion rate not retrieved correctly in RPA Starter demo instructional video

Hi everyone, I am new to UiPath. I practiced and followed according to the workflow steps in the StudioX Demo - Building Your First Automation.

When I followed the below steps (steps 4 - 7), I was not able to get the currency conversion rate for the different currencies against USD. The Get Text activity always capture only the EUR/USD conversion rate, but not the other currencies. In the demo video, the activity steps are:

  1. We add an Excel For Each Row and select the table “Converter” from Template Report;
  2. Inside the For Each, using a Use Application/Browser ( Application Card) we indicate a previously open “currency converter” Google search page;
  3. Using a Type Into activity, and the Text Builder we write inside the Search bar Currency “to USD”. Also, we select “enter” as a hotkey;
  4. With a Get Text activity, we retrieve the conversion value and save it to the Conversion Value column;

To resolve the error, I did a swap of step 4 and step 5, while step 6 and step 7 remain in place. This will allow the different conversion rate values to be retrieved correctly.

  1. Using a Use Application/Browser ( Application Card) we indicate a previously open “currency converter” Google search page;
  2. We add an Excel For Each Row and select the table “Converter” from Template Report;

Just thought I share my finding in case this has not been feedback before in this forum. All inputs and comments are welcome.

Cheers and happy learning.

Thank you, I too had a similar issue getting the file to display the totals I will attempt your idea and see if it resolves

when i am using “Use Application/Browser” and click on “indicate application” StudioX is getting terminated. Unable to figure out the exact issue.
