Make sure the file is not in edit mode (the mouse cursor is not in the cell)

[Citra_Devi]

Sorry,i don’t get it.What do you mean with the mouse cursor is not in the cell?

[xuanhung (Hưng Nguyễn)]

if your file is open and prepare to type into cell. Uipath will return a error.

You must close that file before running.

@Citra_Devi,

When using Excel application scope, make sure the activation alert shouldn’t pop-up. If it exists, as per your code, Bot will

1. Open the Test.xlsx file
   2.And while trying to write cell, you’ll get the error.

@Citra_Devi Do you have any other excel scopes in the same workflow?

If yes, please add kill process (with excel) and add few seconds (3 to 5 sec) delay in between.

If you have nested excel scope, suggest you to add only delay around 5 secs.

It will solve the issue. We had faced similar kind of issues earlier.

[Citra_Devi]

No.There is only one Excel Application Scope activity in the workflow.

@Citra_Devi i think rather than writing LastTime.ToString, you may just simply pass the variable LastTime without adding .ToString to it.

[Citra_Devi]

The validation error appears after removed the .toString.

I think there is no problem with that value.It should contain .toString.

Have you recently updated Studio? When we received this error, I have found out that an add-in for UiPath StudioX was installed onto Excel and since add-ins weren’t supported by the organisation where I’ve worked, and there wasn’t an enable add-ins tick on the scope it always resulted in this error. If an administrator disables the add-in in Excel (File>Options>Add_ins), this should go back to normal! The other issue that sparingly occured was HRESULT: 0x80010114, probably for the same reason. I hope this helps!

[Citra_Devi]

Thanks for the response.
