Excel activities deleting image and showing formulas

Hi all,

Currently im trying to create a automation for excel documents
these are the following steps the excel workbook needs to go through


Step 1 & 2 a.b.c are done, However when i try to write formulas with the “write cel” activity it doesnt give me text.
also with deleting a image im having difficulty. I can delete rows but it doenst delete the image.
this is how the excel workbook looks

Does anyone know how to get the formulas to work and how to delete a image

Hi Athevan,

as I understand your requirement, you need to make dynamic directory and place excels after executing operations
if yes then, please follow these steps:
1> create variables like current Month, current Date, Department, Standard Reporting, support etc
2> Get the values for above variables
3> do activities( you can do it by Execute macro activity)
3>use create Directory with assigning full path of directory
4> place the file in the directory
hope this will help,

regards
Aditya

Hi,
For image deletion from excel I use the following VB code invoke.
It however deletes ALL images.
The in_argument is the value returned by activity “Excel Application Scope”
You need to add Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel into Imports.

in_argument objXLS as UiPath.Excel.WorkbookApplication

Dim objWorkbook As microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
 
objWorkbook = objXLS.CurrentWorkbook

For Each ws As Worksheet In objWorkbook.Sheets
 For Each sh As microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Shape In ws.Shapes
  sh.Delete
 Next sh
Next ws

Cheers

I get a error when i try this “no Compiled code to run error BC30456: 'CurrentWorkbook is not a member of ‘Uipath.Excel.WorkbookApplication’. At line 3” do you know the solution to this

Discussed here: Issue Excel library, what am I missing? ".CurrentWorkbook.FullName" not a member of UiPath.Excel.WorkbookApplication - #11 by Victor_Popescu

Install the latest UiPath.Excel activities pack.

Cheers

I still have the same issue however your example doesn’t show this error.
I have updated all packeges


i didnt add the assign activiy but even with the assign acctivity i get the same error

Try what proposed in the linked discussion - remove UiPath.Excel package and install it again.
The example works fine at my side :frowning:

I know your example also works on my side but when i try to add it in to my workflow i get this error. ill try to uninstal en install excel activities

Still no luck i stil have the same error

The error is gone i deleted the activity and posted it again
but now i get this error

Check if this HOWTO: Use MS Office COM interop with UiPath will help you.
