How can I use "Get Row Item"?

Help
1

I would like to use “Get Row Item” functionality (cf. https://www.uipath.com/activities-guide/get-row-item).
However, I don’t find this activity under “Programming” in the list of activities.
I have tried to use an Assign activity instead with: row.Field(myColumn), but I get a strange error message: ‘.’ expected.
I use version 2016.2.6246.
I want to use this activity to get the values from named columns in a DataRow.

hi @bartc

you will find this activity under “Available->Programmming->Datatable->Get Row Item”.

*if you are still not able to find it then please install the required packages from package manager.

as you already know about “Get Row Activity” by usign above mentioned link is only works on datatable rows so you can use it on datatable for each row activity.

i have also used a for each loop to show the same thing.

Please go through with this attached sample and let me know if you have any doubts on this.

Thanks&Regards.!!

Thanks for the reply aksh1yadav.
Unfortunately I don’t have this activity under Programming. (DataTable section is not available).
I have installed all the packages from the package manager.
Seems like I’m missing something important here.
Is this not available in the Community Edition?

It is not about community addition or others. You have missed packages installations I guess. In package manger try to search in Available ->All and type in search “UiPath.Core.Activities” and let me know.

And I have mentioned without using this activity as well in the attached solution please check that as well.

Regards…!!

Thanks for your reply.
Searching for UiPath.Core.Activities in the list of available packages yields an empty list.
Here’s a screenshot of how I access the “Manage Packages” screen. It shows I have installed all the packages available.

For those struggling with the same question: do not download the Community Edition Trial, it is broken (at the time of this post in any case, i.e. February 2017). I tested it on Windows 10 and it doesn’t include the correct activities. The correct activities are included with the “UiPath RPA Platform” trial though. Good luck!

Hello, for get row item activity’s properties - what do I type in row field?

Hey @Serran_Neru

  • Row - The DataRow object from which a value is to be retrieved.
  • ColumnIndex - The index of the column whose value is to be retrieved from the DataRow.
  • ColumnName - The name of the column whose value is to be retrieved from the DataRow. If this property is set, then the ColumnIndex property is ignored.
  • Column - The DataColumn object whose value is to be retrieved from the DataRow. If this property is set, the ColumnName and ColumnIndex properties are ignored.

Hey @Cristian_Ivanus
if you are using mine sample and attached .xlsx file then check in the Read Range activity properties the Add Headers is checked or not.

The error generally you are getting because the Column Name does not exists. check your Excel file and above points which ii have mentioned.

AddHeaders - When selected, the column headers from the specified spreadsheet range are also extracted. By default, this check box is selected (set to True).

Will you be able to share your workflow and let me know the which Excel file you are using ?
Which ever .xlsx file you are using check your column name exists in the first row or not.
