Objectifs :
This tutorial aims to teach users how to utilize Power Automate Desktop to extract information from a website and transfer it into an Excel spreadsheet, streamlining data management and reducing manual entry tasks.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Power Automate Desktop
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use Power Automate Desktop to extract information from a website and transfer it into an Excel spreadsheet. This process will help automate data collection, making it more efficient. -
Creating a New Flow
To start, create a new flow in Power Automate Desktop. Since the flow is more complex, there are no predefined templates available, so we will begin with a blank canvas. Name your flow and confirm your choice. -
Setting Up the Canvas
Once in the canvas space, filter the action column on the left to list the browser actions. The first action is to open Microsoft Edge. Drag and drop this action onto the canvas and enter the URL of the desired platform, choosing to open it in expanded mode (maximized window). -
Opening the Excel File
Next, move to the Excel actions to open your target file, which in this example is synchronized with OneDrive. Each action will generate one or more auto-named variables, but it is advisable to customize these variable names for easier flow maintenance and element identification. -
Customizing Variable Names
For this tutorial, we will customize only a few variable names by double-clicking on them. This allows for multiple executions of the flow. Make sure to clear the content of the Excel table before injecting updated data into it. -
Reading Table Content
Add an action to read the table content by retrieving data from the file and storing it in a variable named 'Excel data'. This will allow for initiating a loop to delete each row. Initialize the loop variable at two to start from the second row and set the loop end at the count of rows in the 'Excel data' variable. -
Deleting Rows
For example, if your file contains 50 rows, you will need to create 49 deletion loops, preserving the header row. Add the Excel row deletion action, which will delete row two at each loop, repeating this 49 times. -
Extracting Web Data
To retrieve web data, use the 'Extract data from web page' action. Once in the properties window, switch to the previously opened browser page. A Power Automate web assistant should appear when hovering over page elements, with a red box delimiting a detected area. -
Selecting Elements to Extract
Right-click and select 'Extract element value' for the desired items. Repeat this action three times for the items to be retrieved, corresponding to the columns of the Excel file (trainer name and details). Power Automate will automatically detect recurring elements on the entire page, saving you from individually clicking on each block. -
Defining Navigation and Data Storage
Define the navigation arrow at the bottom of the page as the page selector. Next, set the number of pages to process to capture the first five pages. The data will be stored in a variable named 'data from web page'. -
Writing Data to Excel
You can now write this data into your spreadsheet, starting from cell A2 (first column, second row). Add an action to automatically resize the columns based on the data present, and finalize by closing Excel and your browser instance. -
Testing the Flow
Save the flow and then test it. You will see on your screen that actions are being performed, and after a few seconds, you can verify that your Excel file is correctly populated. -
Customizing Page Extraction
To have the option of choosing the number of pages to extract, initialize an input dialogue box at the beginning of the flow. Customize the title and content in the web extraction action, replacing the value for the number of pages to extract with the one entered in the dialogue box. -
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can efficiently extract information from your website and transfer it into an Excel spreadsheet, saving you from numerous manual copy-paste operations. Test the flow again to ensure everything works correctly.
