Hi @CamiCat

Can you share the excel file? Also i am sure you must have verified the content in that particular sheet.

Thanks,

Hope this will work at your end as well

Fine
Kindly check these in the workflow
—the variable of the read range should be of type datatable
— that datatable variable should be with scope of whole sequence when it is defined in the variable panel or if not go to variable panel down in the studio and change the scope to whole sequence
—then make sure that variable is only passed to the output datatable activity as it takes only datatable as input
—then the output of the output datatable should be of type string and name it differently (as I see like the name of both datatable variable from output datatable and the one we mention for output datatable output variable looks same)
— then pass that string variable as input to the message box
— finally make sure that the excel has some value in it if not we will be getting this error
And to handle this error we can use a if condition before the output datatable like this
Like if the output variable of read range is named as outdt then the if condition next to this excel application scope would be like this
outdt.Rows.count > 0
Which means the datatable has rows in it and if the above condition passes it will go to THEN part where we can have the output datatable activity or it will go to ELSE part where we can leave it empty
—next to this if condition we can have the remaining activities as we have now
Simple isn’t it

get this error

[PrankurJoshi]

You have not passed Output variable in read range and you are using one in Output DataTable activity

This should be the datatable variable, also I don’t understand the reason you have used Assign activity in Excel Application Scope

@PrankurJoshi

his should be the datatable variable, also I don’t understand the reason you have used Assign activity in Excel Application Scope

hello, im trying to read the sheet names in excel

How to Get names of Excel worksheets

Hello, I’m a beginner. I have an Excel Workbook with many worksheets. In my Excel Workbook, there are over 50 Worksheets. I want to make PDF files from some worksheets(1 Worksheet to 1 PDF file) by robots. Names of PDF files are from names of worksheets. I think as follows: (1) Use Excel Application Scope to my Excel Workbook (2) Assign Output of (1) to variable1(UiPath.Excel.WorkbookApplecation) (3) To get All Worksheets, use GetWorkSheets function, like “variable1.GetSheets”. Then Err…

Fine
lets do one thing
before read range activity use a write line and mention as item.ToString
lets check whether we are getting any sheet names or not
–And if we get the sheet name we need to check whether the excel has value or not and check with the output variable obtained from the read range is sent to output datatable activity and that variable has a scope of whole sequnce (check inthe variable panel)
–get the output from the output datatable activity with a variable of type string and pass that as input to message box

This should work for sure
Cheers @CamiCat
