# 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 retrieve the value from a specific cell in the captured table using the row and column numbers provided in the Input Value column and store the result in a dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

## Syntax

**Input Value:** `<Row>;<Column>`

<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">Specify the row index of the table cell.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><p>&#x3C;Column></p><p>(Required)</p></td><td valign="top">Specify the column index of the table cell</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Output Value:**

<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 holds 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 holds the status of the action as <strong>True</strong> or <strong>False</strong>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Example**

**Retrieves the value from a specified cell in the table**

The **Get cell value** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **2;1**) to identify the row and column of the target cell in the table. It then retrieves the cell content and stores the result in the **{Cell Value}** variable as (**Home Improvement Loan**)

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
