Hi,
I selected a range to be copied in Excel. Ctrl + c send hotkey activity was working perfectly fine but I am running into issues now and the clipboard doesn’t seem to have the data which was copied.
Hi,
You can use the read range activity and set a specific range, it’s the best way to extract data from excel, no need to use hotkeys
Marcelo,
I don’t want the data to be read into a data table. I need to copy it on the clip board because it needs to be pasted into another application.
@meghna.b.das - Can you please try this outside of Uipath.
Copy anything first…and try windows+V(Clipboard paste)…when you hit this key it will show the list of all the items copied…
Like this…
This way , first you can make that you items are captured in Clipboard.
Hi @meghna.b.das did u use Ctrl+C or Ctrl+c?

Hi, I did a select range for the Excel range and sent the hotkey with SendWindowMessages selected in the property but it seems to be copying only the first cell. For example, I selected range “A2:E3” and sent ctrl+c. But it only copied and pasted A2.
@meghna.b.das - I dont think select Range will copy all the items to clipboard…
I just tried to check this…
And the output I received is
…
So you have to pass the write key strokes to select that range…
Please check here…please download the sample at the bottom and check …
@meghna.b.das - Here you go …I have tested this and working…
- Excel application scope
- Use Browser/application
- Keyboard Shortcuts…
- Get From Clipboad
- Message box
Output
Note:
To get Keyboard shortcuts and Use application/browser activity, go to settings → Design → Turn on “Use Modern for new projects”…
