Help

dear sir

i need some help as i am only 2 weeks on UiPath.

I have an excel sheet with the following data. i need to convert each row to individual text file based on the number of rows.

After conversion the 1st text file will look like the below:-

First: 1
Second: 2
Third: 3
Fourth: 4

The 2nd text file will look like this below:-

First: 5
Second: 6
Third: 7
Fourth: 8

There are 2 text files as there are only 2 rows in this example but the row and column can grow unlimited. Also after creating each text file the system will need to add a additional column at the end of the column to indicate it “completed” so that in the next round the system will not read those with the “complete” Status.

could some gurus please help as i am stuck. what i am getting now is the below which is not the correct format:-

I tried attaching all the screen shot but i got an error message that says “new users an only attached 1 image” :frowning:

thank you

@subasc

  • read excel through read range activity and put into datatable
  • then through for each row activity you can read each row
  • under for each row activity , you can write txt file with columns name and value .
    Use append file for insert data
