How to get the Sheet name from Excel

Help

The WoorkbookApplication variable is an OutArgument and right now it is created when the activity is completed. This is why you have to use it outside the Excel Application Scope.

We will fix this in a future release.

Dear all:

I have a solution for y’all.

First, install this package.

ExcelActivities.1.0.18.nupkg (9.5 KB)

Second: open this xaml and set up the path to an excel workbook with more than one sheet.
Readsheetname.xaml (7.7 KB)

Please, please comment your findings on this.

Hello,
Can anyone please help me to know how to move the excel sheet to another workbook.

17

@Uma,
What about Read Range of the sheet to a datatable variable, then Write Range with that variable to the other file?

I’m sure there are a few other coding methods too.

Thanks.

Can you have the sheet in a file by itself? Then you can use the “Copy File” Activity to use the template with other datatables.

EDIT: Or, have a template with all the sheets you need, then like I said use Copy File and Write Range to the copied file to those sheets you want.

To get the Sheet Name follow the steps.

Step 1 : Insert activity Excel Application Scope and enter file path (with extension).

Step 2 : Create variable workbook with variable type UiPath.Excel.WorkbookApplication

Step 3 : Set properties Output : workbook

Step 4 : Create variable sheetName with variable type String

Step 5 : Insert activity Assign and assign workbook.GetSheets(0) to variable sheetName
sheetName = workbook.GetSheets(0)

Step 6 : Set properties To : sheetName and Value : workbook.GetSheets(0)

Hi @Bharti_sanghmitra

You just have to get Output of Excel Application Scope as WorkbookApplication type and when you iterate on that array you will get sheet names See this -

SheetNames.xaml (7.8 KB)

Thanks,
