How to make CV Extract table more consistant

[Bryan_Desrosiers]

Hello;

I’m currently experimenting in creating automated tests for a desktop application using UiPath.

I’ve recently run into a lot of issues around the “CV Extract Table” activity, specifically in getting a consistent result outside from the activity.

If I run the same activity against the same table in an application containing the same data, I find myself getting different output tables.

For example, sometimes the table extracted contains extra “Ghost” columns that contain no data and sometimes the data is read perfectly into the table.

Does anyone know of any techniques to make the data extraction more consistent for this activity? Its hard to use this activity if it is going to add so much unpredictability to my workflows

Example of table I am trying to read:

@Bryan_Desrosiers ,
In the CV extract, you can modify it when selecting your screen template, when brought to the screen, it shows which indexes to select.

Number of columns, number of rows that can be previewed. you can absolutely confirm it before saving, there is gettext or geturl option.

Please show your configuration details

Also if there are any extra columns…you can use a filter datatable activity and in columns tab give the column names you need only…that way even if extra columns are there they would be filtered

Cheers
