Hello, I am attempting to obtain the name of a sheet without using the Excel Application Scope. Could you suggest an alternative approach for achieving this?
Sure. You can use “Get Sheets Name” activity from BalaReva.Excel.Activities package
BalaReva.Excel.Activities - Random and other categories / Community Feed - UiPath Community Forum

Hi, It says its not compatible with Windows projects
Possible. Like many other custom activities in the Marketplace. I am still on Legacy also 
You could contact the publisher if he plans to release Windows compatible package.
Cheers
Okay. Thank you so much

Hi,
you can try the Vb.net code for accessing.
Dim excelFilePath As String = in_ExcelFilePath
’ Create an Excel Application object
Dim excelApp As New Application()
’ Open the Excel file
Dim excelWorkbook As Workbook = excelApp.Workbooks.Open(excelFilePath)
’ Get a list of sheet names
Dim sheetNames As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each sheet As Worksheet In excelWorkbook.Worksheets
** sheetNames.Add(sheet.Name)**
Next
’ Close the Excel file
excelWorkbook.Close()
’ Release the Excel objects from memory
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelWorkbook)
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelApp)
excelWorkbook = Nothing
excelApp = Nothing
GC.Collect()
’ Convert the sheet names to a DataTable and output it
Dim dtSheetNames As New System.Data.DataTable()
dtSheetNames.Columns.Add(“Sheet Name”, GetType(String))
For Each sheetName As String In sheetNames
** dtSheetNames.Rows.Add(sheetName)**
Next
out_SheetNames = dtSheetNames
workflow is attached

The sheet name output will be in the format of data table.
