# Select Based on Absolute Value

This is a pre-built Action located under the Table captured from the AUT Element, instructs the Avo Assure to select the value from the dropdown based on the exact text provided in the Input Value. The dropdown is located within a table cell of the AUT, and the result is stored in a dynamic variable.

### Syntax

**Input Value:** `<row_num>;<col_num>;<dropdown>;<elementIndex>;<Exact text>`

| Argument                             | Description                                                         |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p>\<row\_num><br>(Required)</p>     | Specify row number of the table cell to be clicked                  |
| <p>\<col\_num><br>(Required)</p>     | Specify column number of the table cell                             |
| <p>\<dropdown><br>(Required)</p>     | Type of object inside the cell. In this case, always use “dropdown” |
| <p>\<elementIndex><br>(Required)</p> | Index of the dropdown object inside the cell                        |
| <p>\<Exact text><br>(Required)</p>   | The exact visible text from the dropdown that should be selected    |

**Output Value**

<table><thead><tr><th width="329.2000732421875">Argument</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional);&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional)</td><td>This dynamic variable holds the status as <strong>True</strong> or <strong>False</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Example**

**Performs selection of a specified value from a dropdown list in a table cell.**

The **Select Based on Absolute Value** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **1;2;dropdown;1;High**) and selects the specified text value from the dropdown menu present in the given table cell at the row and column position. The selection status is saved in the **{SelectStatus}** variable, with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the value is successfully selected from the dropdown.
* **False** – if the selection 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/table/select-based-on-absolute-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.
