Hi @skini76,

Thanks, that issue has been resolved.
However i have another task.
I would like to trace same text in 2 different Excel files.
How to do this? Could you give some idea?
I have tried using Text Exists but the outcome seems does not meet the criteria.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I want to search text 10132 in both excel files.Then if both found next progress is to open new page in website.
Data in both excel files are extracted from datatable from Website.The columns are not specific because depends on data from website (our internal website)
Here i attached both files.

Folder Policy ID.xlsx (7.9 KB)

How about Open the file in Excel >> Ctrl+F

You can use recording facility to simulate human actions.

Does that work for you ?

Hi Skini…

Again, I want to search text 10132 in both excel files.Then if both found next progress is to open new page in website.Data in both excel files are extracted from datatable from Website.The columns are not specific because depends on data from website (our internal website)
So how can i detect/search the same text in different excel files?

Imagine you are going to do this manually, you will open file A and search using Ctrl+F, If found, then open the file B, search using Ctrl+F, if found then take some action.

You can create a workflow for this using recording facility. If you are new to recording refer the tutorials.

Some example

It is very clear, the variable that you are referring is not initialized.
