Extract Data From Web Documents During Tax Season

Questions & Suggestions

So basically I am getting ready for taxes so I need to go login to a few different sites that I use, then I will open statements or invoices. From there what I want to do is click on each statement, extract the data, paste it to my spreadsheet, go back to the statements page, click the next month, and repeat the action.

I was attempting to use Xpath to do this however the examples I was watching were from a 2016 version of KM and I no longer see the action Set Variable to XPath.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you

There is no such action.

(What vid were you watching?)

There's a 3rd party plug-in for clicking an object using Xpath:

Click item on Chrome or Safari page by XPath

There's a macro that does the same thing:

[WEB] Click on Link Using XPath [Example]

This macro shows you how to get the object from the Xpath, and from there you can get info from the DOM.

Thank you for your help I'll try your suggestions today!
