Hey everyone! I'm really new to PowerShell and have been using a script to automatically email me weekly sales numbers, breaking it down into percentages. I just got a new office PC this weekend—nothing fancy, but it's way faster than my old one. While my script was working fine on my previous PC, now it seems to be pulling $0.00 for the Net Sales numbers, even though the file is being rewritten. I have a 10-second wait in place for the website I pull from (which can be a bit slow), but it seems like the computer is processing too quickly and not waiting long enough to grab the actual sales numbers. Any tips on how to troubleshoot this?

It might be tough to pinpoint the issue without seeing your code; sometimes the HTML of the source site changes, which can mess up your script. Glad you figured out the pause trick, though! Adding a slight delay can really help.
Thanks for the tip! I was hesitant to share my code because I wasn’t sure about the rules, but it looks like that 3-second pause before the problematic part did the trick. Appreciate your response!
