Execute Macro from Personal Macro Workbook

Help

Hi all,

I am trying to use the Execute Macro activity to run a macro from my Personal Macro Workbook (PERSONAL.XLSB), but I encounter an exception, which I’ve included below.

My input field for Execute Macro is as follows, where “JobsheetExport” is the macro name:

“C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB!JobsheetExport”

Here’s part of the error message (if the full message helps, I can post that too):

Message: The range does not exist
Source: Execute macro
Exception Type: ExcelException
UiPath.Excel.ExcelException: The range does not exist —> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Cannot run the macro ‘C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB!JobsheetExport’. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Regards,
Dan

Put single quotes before C and ! in file path. The file path should be “‘C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB’!JobsheetExport”

Hi All,

I am trying to use the Execute Macro activity to run a macro, but its showing error while run as:
“The range does not exists.”

I use excel application scope in which I browse file in which micro created.
and then use execute micro in which I give macro name.

Hi @AmolS

You may have solved this already, but if not, can you attach the workflow you are using, or a screenshot of the Execute Macro activity?

Daniel

Hi everybody

I’m trying to run an Excel macro in format XLSB too, with two variable arguments. I couldn’t find the way, to send these arguments to the macro, despite one argument is well sent.

Another issue I have, is that the macro execution is run twice, even we the macro contains just a message.

Does anybody knows, what can be wrong.

Macro execute activity:

AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB’!Formato_original_activar(" + Code.ToString + ", " + variable.ToString + “)”

Public Function Formato_original_activar(code As String, variable As String)

MsgBox code

MsgBox variable

End function

Many thanks

Hi

To avoid exception like : HRESULT, we need to change trust center settings for that excel.

Hi,

I am trying to run a macro from UiPath. However, I am getting an error saying ’ The range does not exist’. In the excel scope, I have given the workbook name and then within that an execute macro function with the macro name in quotes (“Macro1”). Thanks for your help.
