Data scraping table row 1 differs from other rows

Help Studio
1

Hi all,

Small (I think) stupid, question, but when I scrape a table in Edge the data in row 1 differs from other rows.

For some reason it adds just the letter ‘v’ behind the data in 2 columns that contain a number. See the picture to understand what I mean. It’s just in the 1st row that the ‘v’ gets added. If I delete that row in the table so that row 2 becomes row 1, which now doesn’t contain the ‘v’, it will then contain a ‘v’ as well.

Obviously I can replace the ‘v’ with a different activity, but does anyone know why this is happening? And could it be resolved directly from the scraping activity.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It may be source code contains v character as some attribute and UiPath extract it as same as data.
Can you check source code in detail if it’s web?

It’s in Edge yeah, but if I look at the property explorer, it only sees the ‘103’, no idea where it gets the ‘v’ from.

Hi @Youri98,

Looks like somehow data in first row is being treated number for some reason.

And v is being entered only in the cells which is formatted as number instead of text like all other cells.

Is the result coming similar when you do the same in chrome?

Hi @sonaliaggarwal47,

Yes I figured something similar because in Excel it looks like the first row is different type of data than the other rows. I can’t really test chrome because it’s a specific company application that runs on D365 → Edge.

Not sure why it treats the first row different than the others though.

Any idea?

Thanks for trying to help!
