Hello @pauloengenharia5

Is it mandatory for you to use a ui based automation instead of the default excel activities?? If yes, can you try recording yhat click activity…as per my understanding yhe click should be under the scope of that window.

Thanks

can you please share the selector of that button. Also can you put that dialogue box in an application scope and inside that the click activity.

Thanks

You have to put the click in Excel Application Scope
Then have to click on “Read Only” button using “click” activity and then try to use the correct selector

Hey @pauloengenharia5,

You have the option to pass the password directly to the activity for read and write both, so why are you doing the UiAutomation.

Thanks,
Sanjit

@pauloengenharia5 - If you are trying to unprotect excel workbook then please refer to the below link

If possible share a sample input excel that you have

Why are you opening Excel and clicking around in it? That’s usually not how you use Excel files in an automation. There are Excel activities for directly reading what’s in the file. And those activities have the capability of handling the password for you.

15

can you please explain the usecase that you are trying to automate?

Based on that we can confirm whether its doable with excel package in Uipath, instead of ui based autoamtion.

Thanks

That’s not how you do Excel automation.

19

Once you download the excel file, you can use the excel activities.

1)Use Use Excel activity. (you can enter the password here)
2)Use Read Range activity

To understand how UiPath working with excel, shared a video below.

in this case I don’t need to put the password, I just need to click on READ ONLY, but it’s not working

Please pay attention to what everyone is telling you. You don’t interact with Excel by opening it like an application then clicking around in Excel. You use the Excel activities to directly read the data from the Excel file. Please go to the UiPath Academy web page and do the Excel automation classes.
