Delete Range (Columns) in Excel file

[Hulya_Cetinkaya (Hülya Çetinkaya)]

Hi, i want to delete D:N columns. I use Delete Range Activity, i write “D:N” to Range Property but it doesn’t work. When I write D1:N200 also doesn’t work. Do you have an idea?

Hi,

Use insert/delete column activity to delete the columns directly in excel.

I have tried Delete Column Activity but same problem, it doesn’t work when i give range “D:N”. No format it accepts.

No you have to provide the number of columns you have to delete and position where you start delete. in our case number of columns should be 11 and position should be 4. you have to keep this activity inside of excel application scope.

Please refer the attached sample work flow. thanks.

I have tried Delete Column Activity but same problem, it doesn’t work when i give range “D:N”. No format it accepts.

The ‘Delete column’ is a different activity. Try “Insert/Delete Columns”, starting on the 4th column, and remove 11 columns. Make sure to change the mode to “Remove”:

Also you can try as Filter datatable and you can list the column’s

Hope this help you
