Ideally you cannot display excel as is

you need to build a process to read the data and then send to apps as out argument datatable and then that datatable can be displayed

or same data needs to be added to data services and then it can be displayed

these are the two ways

Hello @Mathkar_kunal

You can do this by using 'start process" in (Page load) events of mainPage and assigning the Output to local app variable ( you can use the same process Output datatable as well)

1. Build a RPA workflow to read the excel file from local , in Arguments you can specify the
   Output - Data table retrieved from excel.

2. In Event tab- call this process in ‘start process’ event and after that activity assign process.datatable to app variable datatable (create a app variable - dt_datatable)

For customization use dt_datatable or just use process.datatable.

( In the table control in app, in General tab
Add data source as dt_datatable and then add all required columns - change names or add or remove columns)

Hope it helps- Mark as solution if it does work.

To display data from a local Excel file in a UiPath App table, you do need a UiPath process. UiPath Apps cannot “browse” your local computer’s folders directly for security reasons; it needs a Robot to act as the bridge to read that file.

1. Create a Workflow in Studio:

• Create a new process.
• Define an Out Argument of type DataTable (e.g., out_dt_ExcelData).
• Use the Read Range activity to point to your local Excel file path (e.g., "C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Data.xlsx").
• Output that data into your out_dt_ExcelData argument.
• Publish this process to Orchestrator.

2. Configure the App:

• In your App, click Add Integration → Process and select the one you just published.
• Go to the Table Control on your page.
• In the Data Source property of the table, bind it to the out_dt_ExcelData argument from your process.
• Add a Button (e.g., “Load Data”) and set its Clicked event to “Start Process.”
