# Get cell value

This is a pre-built Action located under the captured table element from the Desktop Application. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to extract the value of a specific cell from the captured table. The extracted value is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

## Syntax

**Input Value**: `<Row>;<Column>`&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th valign="top">Argument </th><th valign="top">Description </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><p>&#x3C;Row></p><p>(Required)</p></td><td valign="top">Provide the row number of the table cell you want to fetch.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><p>&#x3C;Column></p><p>(Required)</p></td><td valign="top">Provide the column number of the table cell you want to fetch.</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Output Value**:  `<Dynamic Variable>;<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)`

<table><thead><tr><th valign="top">Argument </th><th valign="top">Description </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><p>&#x3C;Dynamic Variable></p><p>(Required)</p></td><td valign="top">This dynamic variable stores the retrieved cell value.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><p>&#x3C;Dynamic Variable></p><p>(Optional)</p></td><td valign="top">This dynamic variable stores the status as <strong>True</strong> or <strong>False</strong>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### **Example: Extracting the Text or Data from a Specific Table Cell**

In this example, we explain how to retrieve data from a particular cell in a table.

* **Action**: Get cell value
* **Input Value**: 3;2
  * The first argument (**3**) specifies the row number.
  * The second argument (**2**) specifies the column number.
* **Output Value**: {Value}
  * The retrieved cell content (e.g., 23455) is stored in this **{Value}** dynamic variable.
  * If a second output variable is provided, the action returns the status as True/False:
    * **True**: If the cell value is retrieved successfully.
    * **False**: If the cell value is not retrieved successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Get cell value** action fetches the value from the **Input Value** column (**3;2**). This action identifies the table cell at row 3 and column 2, retrieves the value from that cell (e.g., 23455), and stores it in the **{Value}** variable.
