Hey @mgangrade7

To delete rows from datatable, you could use the logic like this:

  1. Use the select function on the datatable to filter the rows that match your condition and this will return an array of Datarows.
  2. Then use a for each loop and remove each row from the Array of Datarows using datatable.Rows.Remove(row);

For Your Reference find the attached sample solution: Delete_Data_Row_From_Datatable.zip (7.7 KB)

Just Use the If condition to check those required columns are blank or not then if they are then use Remove data row activity .

this statement returning the rows which are having status ‘PV’. so you have to modify it something like this for your requirement

DataTable.Select(“[COLUMN 1]=‘’ OR [COLUMN 2]=‘’”)

and if null values you have then you can use like this:

DataTable.Select(“[COLUMN NAME] is null”);

and then you can easily inside for each loop ,can use Remove data row activity.

Hey @Sam

You have yo use similar Datatable.select() with your column name and string then it will return an array of DataRow. then you can use Foreach loop and inside Remove data row activity pass that filtered row item.

ok i got that.
but Suppose in a datatable i want to remove those rows in which a column contains a particular word “Forward”.
for example- my string is “Forward: UiPath v/s blueprism”. I want to remove all those rows which contains this word “Forword”. ?

14

**Datatable.Select("ColName LIKE '*Forward:*'")** to filter those rows.

My column name is ENODEB and my variable is Current_SiteID. so in a data datable if row is not equal current_siteid ,then delete row

Hi there @1vivek12.

You can do the following:

dtMyDataTable = dtMyDataTable.AsEnumerable.Where(Function (x) x.Item("ENODEB").ToString.Trim.ToLower.Equals(current_siteid.Trim.ToLower) = True).CopyToDataTable

This will return a DataTable where all rows meet your criteria (‘ENODEB’ column = current_siteid).

Thanks,
Josh
