Hi! after a write range activity,

  1. I am trying to add a column in my data table.

  2. In the new column that I am creating I want to add a value. The value I am adding into every row of the new column is the same.

Please guide me with this step. Many Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to uipath community

  1. Use add data column activity to add the column with the data table and then use for each row in data table assign current row(columnindex)=value

Inside the For each row in Data Table

  1. Use assign activity
CurrentRow("Your ColumnName Or Index")="Your Output value"

Outside the For each row in Data Table

  1. Use Write Range activity

Hi Abdul,

As per your requirement you wanted to add a new column and the value of that column in each row is same so, considering this my soulution are as follows:

1: User Add Data Column activity Processing: 16703913928484959571719374612831.jpg…

2: In properties mention tha data table name and the column header name which you wanted to add
3: In properties ther is one option " Default Value" please mention you default value in that field which will automatically added in all row in that column.

Thanks

Have you checked this XAMl ? @Abdul_Khaliq1

I am actually working on a workbook activity. I cant use the Excel activity

10

@Abdul_Khaliq1 you could use write range workbook activity then

11

I tried this but it did not create a new column.

Maybe the following could be a factor:

  1. my data table was created by data scraping
  2. I am using workbook activity
12

Are you trying to achieve something like this? UiPath - How to add data to a new Excel column - Full Tutorial - YouTube
you can do the same with Workbooks activities.

Hi Abdul

Add column activity you can use in extracted datatable

Please use add column activity before write range activity

and check the result in Excel file.

Perfect! Thanks a lot!
