Excel formatting/delomiter issue after opening in StudioX

Hi Team,

I have an issue with reading excel csv/txt file in Studio X.
Format when I am opening the file in Excel without using StudioX.

When I am using it in StudioX and would like to do any action then I am not able to do anything becasue the view is quite different, StudioX doesn’t convert it to proper table.
The issue is separator I guess but I dont know why UiPath is showing the file in different and incorrect way that when I am opening the file myself. As you can see StudioX converts the data to a few different columns so I cannot use text to columns.

Welcome to the community

For csv or text file you have to use read csv or read text file activities and not excel

Hope this helps

cheers

Hi Anil,

But I need to remove 3 first rows, and filter out only values in specific column (the rows that are hidden after filtering should be removed) and save it finally as csv too. Will I be able to remove data and filter using “Read csv/text file” activities?

@Raf94

After reading the data you will get data in datatable format and you can use filter datatble and all activities related to datatable to do your manipulations and when use write csv to write back

cheers

Hmmm I am not able to read the file using Read CSV even if “has header” is not selected.

@Raf94

That was because of the cav structure I believe

You can read the csv file as a text file using read text…

Then use a split activity to split the rows that you dont need …and then use genrate datatable and make it as a table

Cheers
