Excelerator is an Excel add-in that enhances Excel functionality and provides additional features. To ensure that the Excelerator add-in is loaded and its icon appears when you open an Excel file through UiPath, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check Add-Ins in Excel: First, ensure that the Excelerator add-in is properly installed in your Excel application. You can do this by opening Excel, going to the “File” menu, selecting “Options,” and then choosing “Add-Ins.” Check if Excelerator is listed among the active add-ins. If it’s not, you may need to install or enable it.
  2. If Excelerator is an external add-in that needs to be loaded when Excel starts, you can use UiPath to automate this process. Here’s a high-level workflow to achieve this:
  • Use the “Start Application” activity to open Excel.
  • After Excel opens, use activities like “Send Hotkey” or “Type Into” to navigate to the Excel add-ins menu.
  • Select the “Add-Ins” option and choose Excelerator from the list to load it.
  • Use the appropriate activities to close the Excel options or settings dialog.
    4 Excel Automation Configuration: Ensure that your Excel application settings are configured correctly for UiPath automation. You may need to check the following Excel settings:
    • Go to Excel Options, click on “Advanced,” and ensure that “Disable hardware graphics acceleration” is not checked. This can sometimes interfere with add-ins.
  1. UiPath Excel Activities: When working with Excel files using UiPath, ensure that you are using the appropriate Excel activities and that they are correctly configured for your use case. If you are performing actions in Excel, such as opening or manipulating files, make sure the activities are implemented correctly.

Hi @Soudios

If you want the Excel Add-in called “Excelerator” to automatically load and display its icon when you open Excel using UiPath, you may need to check if the Excelerator Add-in is properly installed and enabled.

  • Ensure that the Excelerator Add-in is installed in your Excel application. You need to download & install it separately from the Excel Add-ins or Marketplace, depending on where it’s available.
  • Open Excel manually (not through UiPath) and go to the “File” tab.
  • Click on “Options” to open the Excel Options window.
  • In the Excel Options window, select “Add-Ins” from the left-hand menu.
  • In the Add-Ins section, you should see a list of Active Application Add-ins. Look for Excelerator in the list.
  • If you find Excelerator, ensure that it’s checked or enabled. This will ensure that the Excelerator Add-in loads automatically when you open Excel.
  • Open Excel manually to verify that the Excelerator icon appears when Excel starts. If it doesn’t appear, check the Excel Add-ins settings to see if there are any errors or conflicts.
  • After confirming that Excelerator is properly installed and enabled, you can use UiPath to automate Excel and interact with it as needed.
  • UiPath’s automation capabilities allow you to work with Excel, including opening Excel files, performing operations, and interacting with Add-ins.

If you don’t have the option to disable hardware graphics acceleration in your version of Excel, it might be due to the specific version you’re using or the settings available on your system. The presence or absence of this option can vary depending on the Excel version.

i need to use excel application scope, how can i do to use start process and excel application scope without opening 2 time the excel file ?

When using the Excel Application Scope activity in UiPath, it is designed to open and manipulate Excel files without the need to separately use the “Start Process” activity to open Excel. Excel Application Scope manages the Excel process for you, so you don’t need to open Excel beforehand.

when i open the excel file with start process activity i can see the excelerator icon on excel so it was loaded but ben i open the excel file with excel application scope i can’t see the excelerator icon on excel so it was not loaded.

So i need to use start process before excel application scope
