Anchor base when a reliable selector is not available
In your case, may be you can check the “download PDF” selector is it have a keyword for the “Month”.
Or try to change the AnchorPosition to the right place, don’t use auto

I check the link “download PDF” do not have any keyword month. The full picture is like this.
the dates can be different every month, so i only want to pick the invoice based on the month and download.

Can you find the idx in the selector for the current month and Download PDF?
Or is it table? Can you find the tableRow?

Hi

Use a click activity.

Open UiExplore

Select the element with the month

In the editor, replace the dates and year with * i.e 23 May 2021 as * May *

Select the month, right click and select the variable you have added.

In your case, innertext=‘{{Dates}}’ and add the * berfore and after the {{Dates}}
Also, I see your selector have tableCol, you can use the tableRow to click the correct download PDF
Like Use the Get Attribute for the Current Month, the get attribute should be “tableRow” and put the result in the “Download Link” selector

  1. You replace days and years not the entire date. i,e if 23 May 2020 replace as * May *
  2. Then Replace the month so that it all reads * {{Dates}} *

Just save. Also should you not be clicking the download PDF rather than the dates? @Eric_Wong_Test right?

Do u mean “Find Element” replace with “Get Attributes” activities?

On the uiExplorer, please indicate Download PDF for the month and screenshot the properties so we can advise
