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.
