I want to select a value from the drop down. The id=dropdownId and I am trying to select Last 52 weeks.

Html tag:

<select id=" dropdownId " name="period" style="display: none;">
<option value="l4w">Last 4 Weeks</option>
<option value="l52w">Last 52 Weeks</option>
<option value="daterange">Date Range</option>
<option value="weekrange">Week Range</option>
<option selected="" value="monthrange">Month Range</option>
<option value="yeartodate">Year To Date</option>
</select>

Try to wrap your WebElement as shown below

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("identifier")));

After this select the required value in 3 ways. Consider an HTML file like this

<html>
<body>
<select id = "designation">
<option value = "MD">MD</option>
<option value = "prog"> Programmer </option>
<option value = "CEO"> CEO </option>
</option>
</select>
<body>
</html>

Now to identify dropdown use

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("designation")));

And to select its option say 'Programmer' you can do

dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Programmer ");

or

dropdown.selectByIndex(1);

or

 dropdown.selectByValue("prog");
