Hi,
Instead of using the data scraping activity use the get visible text activity.
It will work fine.
You should have a datatable to use the data scraping activity and the output of that activity will always be stored in the type datatable.

Fine if we are trying fetch only a specific data the we can use GET TEXT activity or SCREEN SCRAPPING method from Design tab
And Data Scrapping can be used only when we are trying to get data from a web application or a desktop application which is in a tabular form and if it’s not a tabular form we can’t use Data Scrapping method

So here we can use screen scrapping method which would work for sure
