Hi @phoenix123,

Do you want to copy the sheet from one excel to another or you want to copy the file name of one excel to another.

Because you are using Copy Sheet activity which copies sheet from one excel to another excel.

Buddy @phoenix123

In your image excelfiles will already have the full path, hope you might have got that array from directory.getfiles(“filepath”,“fileformat”)
So in the last excel application scope remove the “c:…” and mention as itemfile.ToString as it is not excefiles of array type, change that buddy. and i suggest there is no need for copy file as excel itself can create new file even if that file is not available.

Hope this would help yu

Cheers

@phoenix123

You can substring the itemFiles variable as

itemFiles.SubString(itemFiles.LastIndexOf("\")+1).Replace(".xlsx","")

Then you will get the file name separated from full path.

Hope I am addressing the correct issue.

Thanks,
