  3. Read the row using For each row loop
  4. Filling a text box Promo id in the application

the issue could be the selector you are using for the element exists activity

You can not use Assign Activity for writing any value to Column. To achieve this use Write Range Activity.

@ronanpeter - I tried moving inside a if loop as well, But still the issue continues

Hi @subash8993

The structure of both the datatables should be same, the one you read from an excel and the one you are using for add data row to the new datatable, if you you are adding column to the same datatable after reading the excel, you can use build datatable with same amount of columns from an exce and your new “Error Message details” column, then try adding data inside loop

@gowthamvijay - Since i have to post the entire result in to another output sheet, i dont want use two different datatable.

More over, i could not able to use two different datatable in a single for each row loop, Kindly help me by providing a solution for adding the error value in specified column of the same datatable

Please note: I am using a single data table to input values, if i find an error message i need to update the error in the same data table and proceed with the execution

Thanks for your response

@GouthamVijay - There are chances that the excel template can vary, Hence need a dynamic way of handling it

Please refer thisnew.xlsx (7.8 KB)
Main.xaml (7.4 KB)

You can vary the logic accordingly, if you want in loop you can pass in the loop.

Thanks.

Hi @subash8993

I think you have made a small mistake while writing the data to the website,
You have used : row.Item(1).ToString
instead of row.Item(0).ToString
always row items starts with 0.

This is the reason you are not able to write the error message into the excel,

@GowthamVijay The issue is not resolved, since i am adding a new row at position 2 i.e row.item(2). Still i could not add an entry in it

As per your excel input “Error message” column exists in row.item(1)
