Hi Community folks, I am downloading a CSV file from a website, and when I open it in Excel, a popup appears. I need to automatically click the Don’t Convert button and save the file. I was able to handle this using UI activities in UiPath, but I need a solution that does not rely on UI automation…

@mkankatala Try to read the file as text and check what data are you getting How are you opening the file? Cheers

How to handle the popup in CSV File

When I click on “Don’t Convert,” some values change. Only after that only I can read the actual values when reading the CSV.
