Build
#1

I have a Data table(Dt) where the values are get from excel application, and I have a another data table (NewDt) which i declare manually. (Dt) Data table have multiple columns. No.of Columns in the Dt and NewDt are same but the column name differs.

I need to copy each and every row item into the (NewDt) Data table.

Can some one guide to do this.

Thanks in advance

Can you check below (not sure about result)

Read Range Dt (without Addheaders checked)

NewDt= Dt.Copy()

Write Range NewDt (with AddHeaders checked)

Nevermind, my solution will overwrite Columns , just wanted to see if we can avoid foreach loop.

you can go with @KarteekRPA 's solution.

Either something went off on my side, or you’re still using V7 compatibility activities (UiPath.Activities namespaces). If that is so, I’d highly recommend using new ones (from UiPath.Core).

I need to read multiple sheets in one excel and those values are write into another excel file

#7

Hi @jothyprasanth.m

You can read two excels into datatables, use the logic I shared earlier & copy both the tables into one.
Then you can write the final output to anywhere.

Hi @KarteekRPA thank u for u r solution it is working great,

And i have one more doubt

Is it possible to Change the Column name in the output file while writing

#9

Hi @jothyprasanth.m

Use assign activity to change column names in the datatable with below code.
dataTable.Columns(<ColumnIndex / ColumnName>).ColumnName = “Required Column Name”

Is this work if data table has more the one columns
@KarteekRPA

#11

Yes… You need to use 1 assign activity for each column @jothyprasanth.m

#12

@KarteekRPA
i have done this

Assign To:

Value:

Headers as column Values

I have an error in assign activity
Is this correct

#13

Hi @jothyprasanth.m

Please refer the attached sample HeaderModification.xaml (7.8 KB)
You cannot run the above artifact, but you can use the logic

How to read the particular range

For example i have excel with Column A to Column AL i need to read only Column A to Column Z the rows are not in fixed number it will change every time.

How to do this

#16

Hi @jothyprasanth.m

Use getRange Activity to find used range & get total number of rows
Then use read range, specify the column range as per your need & row count as you got from getRange activity
