Hi team,

Thanks You
Yes, Excel can be automated without an Excel license by using only Workbook activities, as they work directly on .xlsx files.
Activities that use Excel Application require Excel to be installed and activated.

You can automate the workflow using Excel activities, but when you run the process it will fail and throw an error. This happens because there is no Microsoft Excel license installed, and UiPath requires Excel to be available to execute Excel activities.
As an alternative, you can use Workbook activities, which do not require Excel to be installed. However, keep in mind that Workbook activities offer limited functionality compared to Excel activities.
Hope it helps!!

Hi @nishiijain2000,
Yes, you can automate Excel without an active Microsoft Excel license by using UiPath Workbook activities. These work without opening Excel and allow reading, writing, and appending data in .xlsx files. Use Read Range (Workbook), Write Range (Workbook), or Append Range (Workbook). Excel application–based features like macros or advanced formatting still require a valid Excel license.
