Hi All,

I am new to UiPath and I am having trouble to do the calculation using UiPath. Please refer to the screenshot below, for each product, I want to add up the sales amount which under the colored columns in Data A to create Data B data.

I have studied a while but still, have no clue to do so. Appreciate if you could share your method or sample xaml. Thank you!

Hi,

Do you realy need robot to do such calculations ? Isn’t better just create macro in Excel, ofcourse you can run macro using a robot :wink:

Hi @ArthurHK
Based on Datatable select you can get the value

NewDt=Dt.Select("["+Now.ToString+("%d%m%y")+"]<>’’").CopyToDatatable()
assign these values to a row(“ColumnName”)
and then calculate the sum

Thanks

Hi rado,

Thanks for the reply. As I will receive the excel every day, I want to have the robot to download the it from outlook and perform the calculation.

Btw, I am not familiar to macro ={

Can you share more about how to calculate the sum? Thanks!

Hi @ArthurHK

Dt=Convert.ToInt32(Dt.AsEnumerable().Sum(Function(row) row(“ColumnName”)))
(or)
Dt=Dt.Compute(“Sum(Column Name()”,“Column Name2”))
Thanks

You can record a marco just sum cells manually, then you can edit macro to do the same for others cells, then save macro as global ( to access from all excel files ). Then robot can open and run macro.
There are plenty of tutorials how to create/edit macros in the Excel.

@AshwinS2 method is good but still i think this is over engeneering.
