Yes of course that’s possible
We can use dictionary of type (of string, string)
— so use a excel application scope and pass the file path as input
— use a read range activity and get the datatable as output
— use a for each row loop and pass the above variable as input
— inside this loop use a assign activity like this
Out_dictionary(row(“Question”).Tostring) = row(“Answer”).ToString
Where Out_dictionary is a variable of type
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(of string, string) define it in the variable panel with a default value like New Dictionary(of string, string)
Now as you wish each value (of answer) gets assigned to a key (question)in the dictionary variable
— so If we want to access the value of each question then we can simply write as for example
Out_dictionary(“Client Name”).ToString. // output will be Onida
Like wise we can get any value we want
Simple isn’t it
Or
If we are trying to access all the three columns
Then we can get them by just mentioning their column index inside the for each row loop like
This
Out_value1 = row(“column1name”).ToString
Out_value2 = row(“column2name”).ToString
Out_value3 = row(“column3name”).ToString
Now we can use these three string variables any where
Hope this would help you
Kindly try this and let know for any queries or clarification

@pattyricarte is right in this case you should be used index instead of for each
But it not good if Excel file has more record
So I suggest create array of string …use for loop to iteration and store each value in string to increase index
Thanks

There is many way to read Excel file
- if number of sheet and name of the sheet is fixed then you can use read range activity to read Excel file through passing sheet name and save in datatable and use it.
– if number and name of sheet are not fixed then you can use cutom activity to get sheets name and for each sheet you can use read range activity to read Excel
