HI @smanik19
we have an activity called generate datatable activity ,
where we can pass the text, a string variable as input and get the output as datatable which can be written to a excel with write range activity

This is giving result in the CSV. If i want to change the Headers or keep it pre defined titles is there any option is there ??
Fine
i hope your file has no header in it
so after generating a datatable if the property usecolumnheader is enabled, then a default column name will be entered to the columns
–if we want to enter our own column name, uncheck that property and create datatable first
–then use a invoke method activity to add a new row at the specific position lets say for us we need at the top right, put the in argument as 0 instead of 1
Cheers @smanik19
in Assign - Dt stand for what ??
Also please let me know what is the Variable Type you have choosen , is it Data Row ??
dt is the variable name that we have created which is of type DATATABLE
dr is the variable name that we have created which is of type DATAROW
Where dt.NewRow will create a datarow (dr) with the same schema of the datatable dt, means same structure of columns
invoke method uses dt.Rows
where Rows is a method of datatable dt, that represents the array of rows in the datatable whose collection of datarows is what datatable
and dt.Rows.InsertAt
where InsertAt is a method in Rows that is used to add the rows at specific position and this method takes two argument like this
dt.Rows.InsertAt(datarow to be added, position where we want to add)
so here
dt.Rows.InsertAt(dr,0)

i am getting an error at Assign stating that the Data.Row can’t be converted as Data Table
in assign activity
left side mention as Dr not VarDTTab
as we are creating a datarow in the datatable VarDTTab
Cheers @smanik19
