    • Session name: Enter the name of the session used to open the presentation with the Open action.

      (Optional) Click the Insert a value icon to select an existing variable that you have used to store the default session name.

    • Variable: Enter the name of the variable that you have used to store the session name.
  • In the Cell position > Table title field, specify the name of the table from where you want to retrieve the data.
  • In the Cell position > Cell address field, specify the address of the cell from where you to retrieve the data.
  • From the Select value to capture option, choose to read either the visible text or value of the cell.

    For example, if the cell has 70% as cell content, the Cell value option will read the value as 0.7 ignoring the % format whereas the Visible text option will read the content as 70%.

  • In the Store cell data field, store the retrieved value in a string variable.
