Hi @Mayur_Pawar
Use read range
and use for each row in Datatable
if row(“Column B”).ToString.Contains(“Week1”)

use insert delete columns activity give the index value as -1 and then add column

Hi @Mayur_Pawar

  • Read the excel as datatable lets assume ‘dt’
  • Use for each row to loop the table
  • Declare a variable as int datatype, lets called ‘ordinal’
  • inside loop assign as
    ordinal = Array.FindIndex(row.ItemArray, Function(c) c.ToString().Contains("Week 1"))
  • And add invoke code activity, send argument as ‘dt’ as in/out and ‘ordinal’ as in
  • Add the below code in the invoke code activity
    dt.Columns.Add("Column C", GetType(String)).SetOrdinal(ordinal-1)

Hi @Mayur_Pawar,

To search the value in Excel.

It returns the Cell info. Using this you can read cell value from excel.
