Please Try Below :

  1. Read Range of the sheet , this will give you a DataTable.
  2. Take a Write Range and Write Datatble in a new Sheet . This will remove all Formats.

OR

If the above Fails :

  1. Read the sheet in a DataTable.
  2. Iterate the DataTable in for each -
  3. Inside For each : assign row(“ColumnName”) = Convert.toInt32(row(“ColumnName”))

I found an WorkAround,

Inside the Excel Application Scope , If we Select the Data ans Send Hotkey : Ctrl+Shift+1 ,
I got the Below Output.

Now , Here We can try with Different Keys : Ctrl+Shift+1 or Ctrl+Shift+2 or Ctrl+Shift+3 and So on … Use the One which suffice your Requirement.

I would Suggest First Manually Open the Excel , Select the Row with Data and try these Keys Ctrl+Shift+1 or Ctrl+Shift+2 or Ctrl+Shift+3 . Post This - Implement that in Uipath.

Below is a Sample I worked with : Ctrl+Shift+1

Hi @keshav,

Yes. you can try with same file … My community is the latest version . it is give more trouble. I don’t have to report and resolve it. Can you try with Cell property to give the value as “A:A”…
