Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a dynamic excel file that stores data from a column respectively.

For example in my ListofJobs excel sheet, under the Job column, I would need to extract the row information that contains the job “accountancy” into a new excel file titled “accountancy” together with its information in it.

my original ListofJob excel files
ListOfJobs.xlsx (9.2 KB)

Example: of the output
Doctor.xlsx (8.7 KB)
Accountancy.xlsx (8.7 KB)

Hello @Hey_hi

You can use filter datatable activity. In the filter property provide the column which you want to filter anddynamically pass the value from the excel to filter( use a for each row in datatable).

Then use write range to write thefiltered data to new excel( use Use excel activity and pass the name of the required excel, enable the property create file if doesnt exist)

Hi @loveleet_Saini,

Thank you for your help.
I would like to ask, if there is another new job entry for instance “Bank Manager” inside the ListOfJobs.xlsx file.

Can the program automatically create a new folder name “Bank Manager” with its details inside? Without doing another sequence or filtering manually?
