Hi guys,

I want to double click column in excel file, but the selector is always change based on the zoom out/in of the file. and the robot cannot find the element. And also keep failing whenever I opened the new excel file. Is any way on how to solve it except for activity such as double click, anchor base, find element?

Thanks.

Hi @lakshman

the pop-up window opens after the double click, then fill some data onto the pop-up window. unfortunately, only the double click cell keeps failing.

Is the cell position fixed ? Or will it change every time ?

If you know the cell number before only then enter cell number in the top left corner and Hit enter using Type Into activity and then that pop up will open. And then use Attach Window Activity and indicate that pop up window put all activities inside of this to perform actions with in that window.

@lakshman

the excel cell will change depending on how the user displays the excel file since it has zoom in/out.
I already try with different zoom in/out cell, unfortunately, it fails.

Send hot key activity with any key combination to get that pop up will work in this either

Hi @balupad14

the purpose of a double click cell is to fill in some data from the pdf file. the extract data from the pdf is then written onto the pop-up window after double click activity on the excel file.

Hi @Amin,

why don’t use the write cell activity. The double click is to do the function of edit cell . It is equal to write cell activity.
