# Verify Cell Value IRIS

This is a pre-built action available under the **Captured Table Element** from the **Desktop Application** using the **IRIS method**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to verify whether the value of a specified cell in the table matches the expected text. Save the result in the dynamic variable.

{% hint style="warning" %}
***Note:** For better execution results, capture a constant element using **Ctrl** and **left mouse click**, and select the required area.*
{% endhint %}

### **Syntax**

| Argument           | Description                                                     |

**Output Value**

| Argument                      | Description                                                                                                                   |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Required) | This variable holds the status as **True** (if the cell value matches the expected text), or **False** (if it does not match) |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Optional) | This dynamic variable holds the result as **True** or **False**.                                                              |

**Example**

**Verifies if the value of the cell at row 2, column 5 is "Approved".**

The **Verify Cell Value IRIS** action takes the row number, column number, and expected text from the Input Value column. The result of the verification is stored in the **{VerifyVal}** variable as **True** (if the value matches) or **False** (if it does not match)**.**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/desktop/iris/table/verify-cell-value-iris-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
