Excel always saving in wrong location

[whyyouandi]

Hello @Pema_Sherpa, may be you can try this:

1. Uncheck the Simulate and Send Windows Message (if checked)

I happened to have the same problem (it seems like typing but always end up saved as the same file) and it worked well when Simulate or Send Windows Message is off.

Why Typing File Path in Windows Save As Dialog Seems Like Typing But Not When Using Simulate Click?

What’s Happening: Using Type Into to replace the default file name to a new name. The file path is typed correctly when seen with human eye. When I checked it, the file is saved in the default path with default file name. This only happend when using Type Into with Simulate Click ON or Set Text Tried this on 2 PCs with same computer specification The problem solved when: Using Type Into without Simulate Click Environment: Windows 7 Enterprise (Japanese version) UiPath Studio Ver 2018.1.1 …

2. About the “Save as type” problem keeps showing, have you checked this?

Trying to "Save As" in Excel Issue

Hello, A work around that I found in Excel is building a workflow like this: Excel Application Scope; Click “File” ; Click “Export” ; Click “Change File Type” ; Double Click on the desired file format ; A “Save As” Window will appear, with you chosen format already selected. In this widow you can write the desired File Name / Path and it will save it correctly. Hope this works.
