Action parameters

Input parameters

"Context" field - the context of the action for working with the browser.

"Element" field - an element for interaction.

"With header" field - if the value is "true", the row with the table header will be highlighted separately.

"Remove empty" field - if the parameter value is true, empty rows/columns will be deleted.

"Remove duplicate header" field - if the value is "true", indexes will be added to the same column names in the header of the resulting table. The numbering starts from 1.

Output parameters

"Result" - the resulting variable with data in the form of a table.

...

The action is only applicable with the table type elements.

For a "With header" checkbox:

Parameter workflow: If “true”"true", the action will save the first row of the source table into the header of the returned table value, i.e. it will not be a row with the table contents.
If “false”"false", the first row will leave the table content part and the header will use the default names - 1, 2, 3, etc.

Example:

Get the spreadsheet:

With this parameter enabled, the log will show "Columns: 3; rows: 2" because the first row of the taken area becomes a header with the column names "No.", "Title", and "Tests". These headings cannot be accessed as a row of data to read, but you can use the column names to access a specific cell or column (actions from the "Tables" group). If the option is off, the log will show "Columns: 3; rows: 3", the column names in the header will be "1", "2" and "3".

For "Remove duplicate header" checkbox

• If "false", column names will stay the same.
• If "true", each column name of the received table will need a check:
  
  1. Is there any other column with the same name? If not, the column is skipped, the next one will be checked. If there is one, an index will be added to the current name (numbering starts with 1). 
  2. The check is repeated for the new name. But if now there is a duplicate for the new name, then the index is not added to it again, but the current index is increased by 1. This check point is repeated until there are no duplicates left for the new name.
     
• There is no change in the order of columns by their new names. For example, there were names "Test4", "Test" and "Test". After changing the duplicates, the names of the last 2 columns will change, but the order will remain the same:
  Before: "Test4", "Test", "Test"
  After: "Test4", "Test1", "Test"
  Incorrect option: "Test", "Test1", "Test4".

Example of column renaming

There is a table in the browser: 

Image Added
If "Remove duplicate header" = true, and "With header" = True, the action will return a table with five unique headers. The column renaming will go as follows: 

• The 1st column has a duplicate in the 2nd column. Add 1 to the name (it will be "Test1"), but if you do this, you will get a duplicate with a 3rd column. Therefore, we increase the index - 2 (there will be "Test2"), but with This index there will be a duplicate - with 4 and 5 columns. Once again, increase the index - 3, there are no duplicates for the resulting name "Test3", then we leave it. The resulting columns:

• Columns 2 and 3 do not have duplicates, skip them.
• Column 4 has a duplicate in column 5. Add 1 to the name (it will be "Test21"), there are no duplicates with this index in other columns. Final columns:

• Column 5 does not have duplicates. The check is finished. The 5th column has no doubles. The check is completed.
