Excel Application Scope - Not able to open up the Excel file from desktop from a defined variable

[Victor_Victory (Victor)]

Hi, I am quite new to UIPath. I have encountered below exception error while running my main.xaml file.

1. It does not allow me to open the excel file saved from my desktop via a defined variable, such as, I defined a variable called in_RefRpt, its Default value points to my desktop. When I run this xaml file, it pops up an exception error.

2. This issue will be gone if I directly define the WorkbookPath from Excel Application Scope but I don;t know why.

Please kindly share with me if you ave any thoughts.

Thanks!

Attached my xaml file here.

Below is the error code:

18.4.5+Branch.support/v2018.4.Sha.2a53a262e2c1098055c3ecbdabe73d45e0a6dc29

@Victor_Victory

Thank you for your inquiry and welcome to the forum

take a look at this picture:

You are missing a part of the path, you just had \Desktop\SP_TestFile2.xlsx" whis is incomplete

as a bonus I am adding the environmnet.username, which will retrieve the current user, this is helpful when you deploy your solutions in other pcs.

"C:\Users" & Environment.UserName &“\Desktop\SP_TestFile2.xlsx”
