| Argument                                                    | Description                                                                                                          |

**Example 1**

**Sets the value "SANFRANSISCO" text in the cell at row 2, column 3, specifically in a textbox inside that cell.**

The **Set Cell Value IRIS** action takes the row, column, text from the Input Value column and sets the value accordingly.

**Example 2**

**Sets a value "SANFRANSISCO" text in a specific cell within a table element.**

The **Set Cell Value IRIS** action takes the value from the Input Value column **(e.g., 2;3;SANFRANSISCO;1)**, where **2** is the **row,** **3** is the **column**, **SANFRANSISCO** is the text to be set, and **1** is an optional parameter that defines cell has equal height.
