UiPath software allows you to perform several operation on your Excel files.

If you want to learn about it in detail, please see our documentation here:

Or go through the lessons in our Foundation course on the Academy.

Here, I will mention a few quick facts that should get you going right away:

There are two sets of activities:

  1. Excel Application Scope activities

    See this example to see how it works:
    ExcelApplicationScope.zip (1.9 KB)

    In short:

    • it requires the MS Excel to be installed on the machine
    • it has more features than the second option

  2. Excel workbook activities

    See this example to see how it works:
    ExcelWorkbookActivities.zip (1.6 KB)

    In short:

    • it does not require MS Excel to be installed on the machine
    • it has less features, but works directly on the file (and thus, for example, doesn’t keep the styles of cells well)

Nowadays, you can also use StudioX for your task automations.
