Hi there,

Assuming you are using the Read Range activity from the Workbook package, you might need to specify the range to include the column that is being excluded. By default, UiPath is likely ignoring the column with blank data and looking for the first column that contains text.

I just tested this scenario locally using the range “A1:D10” and UiPath outputs the blank String from column A in the For Each loop. You can make the “D10” portion dynamic to read all the necessary data by using an int variable instead of the hard-coded “10” value.

Please let me know if this works for you.

Best,
Nick
