Hi Team,

I created a workflow using excel validation,but later i realized the server which i want to run the work flow doesn’t have MS Excel which its not possible to install also.
How can i run this workflow if it didn’t support excel?
Appreciate your inputs.

If we don’t have Excel application installed in that machine then we can use Workbook activities.

There are two workbook activities called Read Range and write Range. It will help you to do this.

Just specify excel file path,sheet name and Range you want to read.
