# Get Cell Value

This is pre-built Action located under the Table captured from the AUT Element Name, instructs Avo Assure to fetch the value present in the specified cell of the grid and save the result in the dynamic variable.

### Syntax

**Input Value:** `<Row>;<Col>;<header/body>(optional);<left/right>(optional);<row_attr>(optional);<col_attr>(optional)`

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>&#x3C;Row><br>(Required)</td><td>Specifies the row number or identifier from which to extract the value.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>&#x3C;Column><br>(Required)</td><td>Specifies the column number or identifier from which to extract the value.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><p>&#x3C;header/body></p><p>(Optional)</p></td><td>Indicates whether the target cell is in the header or body of the table.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><p>&#x3C;left/right></p><p>(Optional)</p></td><td>Defines the direction in which the system searches for the specified cell.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>&#x3C;row_attr><br>(Optional)</td><td>Attribute-based filter to identify the correct row<br>Example: class='highlighted-row</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>&#x3C;col_attr><br>(Optional)</td><td>Attribute-based filter to identify the correct column.<br>Example: data-label='Order Amount'</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

| Argument                                 | Description                                              |
| ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p>\<Dynamic Variable><br>(Required)</p> | This variable stores the retrieved cell value            |
| <p>\<Dynamic Variable><br>(Optional)</p> | This variable stores the status as **true** or **false** |

**Example**

**Retrieves the value of a specific table cell**\
\
The **Get Cell Value** action fetch the value present in the specified cell using the input value format (e.g., **3;2;body**). In this case, **2** refers to the row, **4** to the column, and **body** indicates the section of the table to target. Optional parameters allow specifying direction (left/right) or applying row and column attributes. The retrieved cell content is stored in the **{CellValue}** variable, while the execution status is stored in the **{Status}** variable, with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the value is retrieved successfully.
* **False** –if the action fails or an error occurs.

# 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/web/grid/get-cell-value.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.
