Hi @mohamed.saty2012,

You can use build data table activity to create a data table with the required columns. Add your data to it, and then use write data table activity with save changes marked in use excel file activity

Probably your problem solution is:

  1. Might be your variable scope is limited define them to Main Sequence.
  2. You’re using an unstable version of an Excel update from Mange Packages.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Hi @mohamed.saty2012 ,

I could see that you are using an UI Automation activity instead Please try using ’ write cell’ activity. That would be the best for writing in a particular cell of an excel. Attaching the official documentation from UiPath site for the same,

See if this helps you, in case you face any challenges using this activity let me know happy to gelp further…

Happy automating.

Thanks,
Gautham.

You can Find the last row in the excel sheet before starting add data, and start iterating your loop accordingly.

This would avoid the issue of data being replaced.

Hello @mohamed.saty2012,

In your case, you are using Excel scope and want to write data into your Excel file, But you are using “Type into Activity” This activity writes data in the same cell.

Solution: Use “Write Cell Activity”

could you please show me how you show me how

Hi @mohamed.saty2012 ,

Step 1 : Use a Read Range Activity , Pick a column in the sheet with no Null or blank cells.

Step 2 : Use an Assign Activity, create a int32 variable and assign the value datatable.Rows.Count - 1 (DataTable - output Variable from Read Range activity)

Step 3 : Use a While loop with initial value set the last row + 1 and exit condition with (lastRow + Input Data Table (From which data table data is being taken for writing))

18

I think the issue is writing the value to the cell, you can do this by using two whys but you need to check anything is not overriding the value.

1 Create Data table and add your data table and write the value, you need to add all value in a single data table and write the same in Excel

2 You need 3 different variables and write the values one by one write in a specific cell

kindly this is what i have done until now it should work but it keeps writ at the same row. can anyone see the .xaml an
