Huge Excel files with formula filter datatable

Hello,

I am new in uipath world and I want to create a robot which should do the following simple tasks:

I have 2 .xlsx files: source.xlsx and destination.xlsx

destination.xlsx contains 8 columns
source.xlsx contains 4 columns

I need to copy data from source at the end of the destination file in columns BCDE.
For column A I have a formula and for column FG other 2 formulas.

Here is how I did it:

  1. I used an ReadRange to read the entire source.xlsx(dtSource).
    1.1 I got the number of rows from source;(intSourceCounter)

  2. I used an Application Excel Scope
    2.1 I used an ReadRange to read the entire destination.xlsx(dtDestination);

    2.2 I got the number of rows from destination(intDestinationCounter);
    2.3 I calculated the range where to write B(intDestination):E(intDestination + intDestinationCounter)
    2.4 BuildDatatable with 4 columns (dtFourCloumnsDt)
    2.5 Filter Datatable (input: dtSource; output: dtFourCloumnsDt)
    2.4 Write range dtFourCloumnsDt into dtDestination

    2.5 BuildDatable with one column to for A(dtColumnA);

    2.6 foreach row in dtSource
    2.6.1 strColumnAFormula = “myFormula”;
    2.6.2 AddDataRow (strColumnAFormula)

    2.7 Write range dtColumnA into dtDestination

    2.8 BuildDatable with one column to for F and G(dtColumnsFG);

    2.9 foreach row in dtSource
    2.9.1 strColumnFFormula = “myFormulaF”;
    2.9.2 strColumnGFormula = “myFormulaG”;
    2.9.3 AddDataRow (strColumnFFormulaF,strColumnGFormulaG)

    2.10 Write range dtColumnsFG into dtDestination

My destination.xlsx has only 10 rows.
My source.xlsx has 1000 rows.

time required for execution is 2 hours which is in my opinion huge.
How can I do it to work much faster. Where am I wrong?
This were test files, the productive ones will have more than 200.000 rows
