I have an excel, where i have 2 columns, namely firstname and lastname. When i run uipath, it should ask me how many records you want to fetch, if i select 3, then i should be able to retrieve 3 rows from excel and create 3 different records in website.
I have almost finished the above requirement with onething pending. I would like somebody to help me with the idea.
Let me explain the process I followed.
1)Input Dialogue
2)Excel Application Scope
3)sequence
4)read range(used " ")
Once I fetched all the rows from excel then I will call website.
5)Open Browser
6)do while
Now here how can i retrieve first row and assign it to the website and when it loops second time, how can i retrieve second row and insert it to website…so on…
Use for each loop and initialize a counter inside. Every time compare counter with the input value. like counter <= input. if condition comes to false then use break to get out of the loop.
You can use sql query to select top 3 records only.
You can use query on the data table to get only 3 records
i have 2 column firstname and lastname, consider i have 3 rows in excel, now when the loop starts it should pick first row then insert into the website and click submit, again second row, retrieve 2 columns of second row and insert into the website and submit.,so on, so number of time it loops is depends on the number i entered in input dialogue,and say i am storing that value in variable “count”
In Read range activity, I have set datatable name as DT1, but what must be the column name, when i tried like this i got error DT1.Rows(“Name”)(count).value saying “Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression “DT1.Rows(“Name”)(count).value”.
Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from ‘String’ to ‘Integer’.”
Fine hope these steps would help you resolve this
—use input dialog box and get the input from user and get the output from the activity with a variable of type string name str_input
—now use a excel application scope and pass file path of excel as input
—inside the scope use read range act and get the output with a variable of type datatable named dt
—now use a while loop and mention the condition this counter < Convert.ToInt32(str_input)
Where counter is a variable of type int32 defined in the variable panel with default value as 0
Inside the loop use a assign activity like this Str_value1 = dt.Rows(counter)(“yourcolumnname1”).ToString
And another assign activity like this Str_value2 = dt.Rows(counter)(“yourcolumnname2”).ToString
And final assign activity like this Str_value3 = dt.Rows(counter)(“yourcolumnname3”).ToString
Where all these three variables are string variables
And finally use a assign activity like this counter = counter + 1
Followed by this use open browser activity and use these three variables
So until the mention the user input this will iterate and the values will be used
