I need to check it upon the value retrieving from excel.
data.getEmpType().get(rowCnt)
With above code I will get the value from excel.
How to do it?

Answer 1

First take string value from excel sheet.
Then collect all or required check boxes.
Loop the check boxes and verify against required value which collected from excel.
String requiredValue= "from excel file";
List<WebElement> checkBoxes=oWebDriver
.findElements(By.cssSelector("input[id^='ContentPlaceHolder1'][type='checkbox']"));
for (int i = 0; i < checkBoxes.size(); i++) {
if(checkBoxes.get(i).getAttribute("value").equals(requiredValue)){
checkBoxes.get(i).click();
break;
}
}
Or use more straight way through Xpath:
String excelValue = "from excel file";
String xpathExp = String.format(
"//table[#id='ContentPlaceHolder1_cblType']" +
"//td[label[text()='%s']]/input", excelValue );
driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpathExp)).click();

Answer 2

String ExcelValue= "data from excel";
**/*Create a list using common attributes of all three check boxes */**
List< WebElement> CB=driver.findElements(By.xpath("\\input[starts-with(#id,'ContentPlaceHolder1') AND #type='checkbox']"));
**/*Store size of List created in CB_size(as per your data is should be three */**
int CB_size=CB.size();
**/*below loop will execute for all three check boxes one by one and with which so ever your value from excel matches, it click and come out of the loop */**
for (int i = 0; i < CB_size; i++)
{
if(CB.get(i).getAttribute("value").equals(ExcelValue))
{
CB.get(i).click();
break;
}
}
