For example I have a column Status with values (yes/no)
Those having no values need to be highlighted in yellow colour.
How can we achieve that?

Hi @vnsatyasunil

Try it out the following steps

  1. Use the Read Range activity to read the Excel file and store the data in a Data Table variable,

let’s say dtExcelData

  1. Use a For Each Row activity to iterate through each row in dtExcelData.

  2. Inside the For each activty, use an If activity to check if the specific column contains Yes

CurrentRow("ColumnName").ToString.Equals("Yes")
  1. If the condition is true, use the Set Range Color activity to highlight the cell
Range : "A" + (CurrentRow.Table.Columns.IndexOf("ColumnName") + 2).ToString

Hi @vnsatyasunil,

You could also create an excel template with all the conditional formatting you need and then use that template to write output.
