Hello Vivek, thnx for reply.
can you please advice me what will be the Selector in this case, because i use below one and that is not working.
“<wnd app=‘excel.exe’cls=XLMAIN’ title= ‘WO\Template_Gaud\South.xlsx - Excel’ />”

Try with Ui Explorer and validate the selector with wild cards.
use this
wnd app=‘excel.exe’ cls=‘XLMAIN’

remove title.
