Is it possible to set up a dropdown to select Excel files in StudioX with Community Edition?

Thank you for your support.
I am trying to teach UiPath to beginners within the company, but I am having trouble with the environment setup for the Community Edition.

In the environment of the newly installed Community Edition Studio, is it possible to select Excel from a dropdown as shown in the screenshot? I have been looking for settings but can’t find one, and I can only find a way to enter text manually.

The attached screenshot is from the Enterprise environment of Studio 2023.4.14.

【Select target range from dropdown for Excel】

【Select item names from dropdown】

Hello

I don’t think any special settings are usually needed, but…
For now, I think it would be good to update the UiPath.Excel.Activities package to the latest stable version or the latest stable version of 2.x to see if that improves the situation.

Thank you very much.
In the CE environment, the selection using the plus sign does not appear, which is difficult for beginners.

The UiPath.Excel.Activities package was at version 3.5.1, so I will downgrade it to 2.x and check!

Hello

It seems there is no particular problem in my environment (Studio 2026.0.195 STS + Excel Pack 3.5.1)…

Could you share the version of your Studio and any screenshots of the issues?

After downgrading the UiPath.Excel.Activities package in the CE environment to version 2.20.3 (the same environment as mine), I was able to see the plus sign in Excel! Thank you for the advice <m(_ _)m>

However, while I was able to use the dropdown selection for [Select Cell] under Excel activities,
when I tried to specify an Excel item on the right side of the assignment activity, the dropdown selection for the plus sign did not appear.
(In my Enterprise environment, the selection is available even in the assignment activity.)
Is there still something missing in the settings?

If you have any other advice, I would greatly appreciate your guidance :folded_hands:

This overlaps with the above POST, but it seems there are no particular issues with the Assign activity in my environment (Studio 2026.0.195 STS + Excel Pack 3.5.1). I would appreciate it if you could share more details about your environment.

Thank you for the screenshot!
It works with assignment, too.

The Studio version is 2026.0.180 STS.
Excel 2.20.3 (downgraded from 3.5.1).

In this case, in the CE environment,
when you press the plus button on the right side of the assign activity,
only the options appear:
・Open in expression editor
・Use variable
・Clear value
.

On my end, 26.0.195 works properly even with ExcelPack 3.5.1, so it might be better to upgrade the version of Studio.
