Load the entire into datatable, Then remove the rows where salary= empty by filter datatable activity then again store the value into excel.

QQ.
Should we consider only Salary Column values to be empty or any cell in a particular row/Column

You can try the below Query

Datatable variable = (From x In Datatable.AsEnumerable()
Where Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Convert.ToString(x(“Salary”)))
Select x).CopyToDataTable

Thanks for the reply. Yes , if salary column cells are empty, the entire row should be removed.

HI @Mahesh5491
we can use Filter datatable activity buddy
–use a excel application scope and pass the file path as input
–use a read range activty and get the output as out_dt a datatable variable
–use a filter datatable activity and pass the above variable as input and in condition mention as
“Salary” = Nothing
and enable Remove radio button in filter wizard window, which would remove the empty cell rows and put the output datatable with a new variable named final_dt created in the variable panel with default value of new System.Data.Datatable

Is “x” is a DataTable variable?

Nope, its a range variable you need not worry about it use it as it is

@muralipa, This one is working. Is it possible to remove empty cell row using DataTable.Select Method?

@Palaniyappan This one will work along with “Salary” isEmpty. Is it possible to achieve this using DataTable.Select Method?

13

yes of course
like this
Final_dt = out_dt.Select(“[Salary] is Null”).CopyToDatatable()

Cheers @Mahesh5491

Thanks alot @Palaniyappan. The above code works, It returns empty cell rows. For removing empty cell rows we have to prefix “NOT” in front of null.

15

aaaha
sorry
it must be like this
Final_dt = out_dt.Select(“[Salary] is Not Null”).CopyToDatatable()
