Excel add in automation

[albsubsonly]

Hi,
I have an excel add in that fills pictures into excel that I want to automate, but I am getting mixed results sometimes it gets the button sometimes not.
the Insert all button is very difficult to get right
I am doing this with app web recorder and I am a newbie in UiPath

Hello…

1. what do you mean by “Sometimes it gets the button”? - Were you able to identify the button selector uniquely?

on a whole what I think you need to do is;
Try to refine the selector so that UiPath will still be able to identify even if the dynamic attributes of the selector change. you can accomplish this by;

1. removing any dynamic attributes from the selector.
2. try and see if you can refine the dynamic attributes using wild cards such as (/?/?).
3. I would recommend using modern design experience and usage of unified selectors.
4. In unified selectors the are basically 4 types of identification methods
   1.strict selector , 2. fuzzy , 3. image and 4. cv
   I would recommend to use a combination of (1 and 2 OR 1,2 and 3).

I see you are a new to UiPath but, Selector refining is something which is really important and you need to take a deep dive and play with the selectors to understand how this works in real time, since not all selectors in application are easy to identify.

cheers!

HI everyone,
the button is INSERT ALL in the first post picture

I run the procedure and it gets it right than , when closing and reopening excel , or when excel crashes , this button in the procedure doesn’t get recognised.

I would rather use a shortcut for this if possible or have another way to call this button.

Possible that it gets confused and even after Resetting the Button , is getting confused as it is indicating with a picture a diferent part of the sheet. The application is in the center inside it the button. UiPath gets confused with far left up the screen as in the picture
What are anchor points and how to use them ?
