How to add variable to a existing datatable

Help
1

Hello,

I have a dataTable with few missing column information for e.g as below:

ColumnA ColumnB ColumC
Value1 Blank Value2

Now I have to add value in columnB which is a variable value getting from other source.

I am trying using ‘Assign’ activity as ‘‘dataTable.rows(0).item(1) = myvariable’’ but this is throwing an error stated :- “Object reference not set to an instance of an object. This error usually occurs when using a variable with no set value(not initialized”.

Please advise

Hello!

The Datatable is already fulfilled with information before you’re adding this new value?

Have you tried to run the Datatable through a For Each Row Activity, then use the assign with “Row.item(“Column”) = myVariable” ?

No actually Column B is blank, there is no information and I have to add info there.

Also, I have tried row.item(“columnName”) = my variable inside for each row activity but giving me the same error… Please suggest
