Just so I understand a bit better what you want to do is this:

  1. Uipath loads up data from first excel file
  2. Uipath uses ‘vlookup’ to get a value from the second file using data from the first file

Or

  1. Uipath loads up data from first excel file
  2. Uipath uses ‘vlookup’ to get result from first excel file
  3. Uipath enters data into second file

?

You can play with write cell, append range etc etc as to whatever you want to do :slight_smile:

@CBlanchard

Please check attached files…in Lookup.xlsx , based on E3 to F10 column values ,
we have to calculate Bucket Column Value
by applying below formula using Uipath
=VLOOKUP(A2,$E$3:$F$10,2,TRUE)
