Try to write macro in Excel and execute this with robot.

How to do that can you elaborate??

You have to write macro in VBA inside the excel. Next you have to execute this macro in UiPath.
Maybe there is another option in UiPath but I do not know.

Hi,

Read the excel file with a Read range activity, that can be used inside of an Excel application scope. The output will be a datatable. (Make sure that add headers option checked when using Read range. I recommend you to use column names without whitespaces. example: UserField1) Then you can use a For each activity for that datatable and add if decisions for the logic you wrote.

For example:
For each Row in DataTable,
If (Row.Item(“User Field 1”).ToString.Startswith(“D”) and Row.Item(“User Field 2”).ToString.Startswith(“D”) and Row.Item(“User Field 3”).ToString.Startswith(“D”),…)

Hopefully you’ll be able to build the logic. For copying rows, in this for each logic, you can use Add data row activity and fill Array property to Row.ItemArray and add the row for the existing datatable. If you want to see it in your excel, you can add these new rows for a new datatable and then add this new datatable for the existing excel file using an Append Range activity inside an excel scope.

Hope that I could help you.
