Cannot find the UI element corresponding to this selector using Windows app Excel

Hi, I am new to UIPath and working on recording sequence of Windows app Excel!
When I start recording on Desktop all my activities are under Attached window, but this attached window is throwing the following error:

Main has thrown an exception

Source: Attach Window ‘Template Xlmain’

Message: Cannot find the UI element corresponding to this selector:

Exception Type: SelectorNotFoundException

Hi Gautam,

Not only main attached window, try to manipulate the selector in click activities inside the attach window.
Hope you will do some work around to select the proper selector by using UiExplorer

Thanks,

Dear colleagues,

I´m facing the same issue as Gautam: “Cannot find the UI element corresponding to this selector: ”

But when I check the workflow the tittle is correct: “”

You mentioned before UiExplorer but I don´t find what I have to attach.

Could you please help me?

Thank you from Madrid, Spain :smile:

A problem that I ran into was for one of my applications it had a system specific selector (ex: “C:applications/file/user/…”, so if I unselected that, the selector would work like a charm. Another thing to consider is using the repair tool to reselect or use the “data scraping” tool and testing different methods of data extraction.

Thank you for replying me kkalian!
But I need that path to extract the folder and the information. I will try the plan B as you suggest

Thanks!
