Excel Application Scope - Existing Workbook property

Hi All

I recently upgraded to 2021.10.3 in which Studio X Activities are displayed as “default”. I am trying to familializing myself more with Studio X Activities.

In Excel Application Scope Activity (in Classic), there used to be “Use Existing Workbook” option for workbook that has been already opened.
ExistingWorkbook

Use Excel File Activity doesn’t have such property.
StudioXExcel

How can we use Existing Workbook with Use Excel File Activity?

Hi,

I think in for the use excel activity we don’t have option to use existing work book. if you want to use excel application scope activity please do the below steps.

GO to project settings → General ->Modern design experience → No then we will be able to use excel application scope.

Thank you for replying. If that doesn’t exist, I will activate Classic Activities from View Options to go back to Excel Application Scope Activity.

Hi, I want to use the Excel Application Scope activity you talked about and I’m trying to direct it to an EXCEL file that is already open on my computer. I tried to define a new variable in its properties under the name: Use Existing Workbook but it gives me an error that it can’t find the file and I can’t understand what I need to do so that it understands that I want to stretch something existing
