First Use log and print the output of “Get Full Text activity” and check. Make sure you have the data and then you start your manipulations.
It seems you are trying to Trying the scrap the Blank Value. Empty Space sometime causes this issue

Let me understand:
-can you select individual elements in a IE webpage with uiexplorer?
-what studio version are you using? What OS?
-this scenario did work at any time in the past?

Is it the same with other browser? Is it the first time you get this error? Or was it running fine before?

I am getting the same error as well. UiPath was able to identify elements earlier with chrome but now it is not detecting any of the elements. Please let me know the resolution.

Hi, same here. Re-installing UiPath resolves the issue, however, it appears again after certain period (couple of days). Please help!!! :slight_smile:

I experienced the same issue with the read csv method. I was able to resolve it by logging directly into Windows 10 and fixing a licensing problem with Excel. Prior to that I was using Parallel’s VM. Not sure if that is the right solution but in my case it worked.
