I am trying to open an escel file to fix a column that has the “Number saved as text” error. I have been playing around with the selectors on my laptop and the process works fine. Though when I goto run the process on a VM (which is going to be standard) the robot cannot find any of the elements.

I looked through them and there is nothing that has my machine name or anything tied to it. I’ve tried using both “Start Process” and “Open Application” to get the file to open.

Here is a screenshot of one of my selectors to click the very top left of the spreadsheet (to select the entire workbook It shows as not valid cause I do not have the file open
