How to use XPath functions to get the count or total of all the numeric values in table cells?

In order to get the count or total of all the numeric values in cells of a table, you can use XPath functions count and sum respectively. To implement this, use the Get_Web_Value command, set type to Number, and then use XPath functions of count or sum within the locator for this command. Here are 2 examples:

 

  • GET_WEB_VALUE count LOCATOR application.page.cell.first NUMBER NA  FALSE _
    • application.page.cell.first is defined as count(//tr/td[1])
    • This command gets the count of all of the numeric values in the first cells of each table row and assigns the result back to "count" variable.
  • GET_WEB_VALUE total LOCATOR application.page.cell.total NUMBER NA  FALSE _
    • application.page.cell.first is defined as sum(//tr/td[1])
    • This command calculates the total/sum of all the numeric values in the first cells of each table row and assigns the result back to "total" variable.
