want to set a criteria to the loop. when it reaches to a certain number it should stop looping it.

I have a set of URLs in excel sheet which bot will open in IE and look for certain data points and save it in excel. i want to stop this loop when the last url is done.

  1. Use Read Range activity
  2. Drag a For Each Row to loop through the datatable do all the operation inside the for each loop except the open browser( you can use it but you should close it before opening other)
    • Instead of using the Open Browser inside the for each what i would suggest is to set the out put variable after opening the browser.
    • You can use Navigate To activity inside the for each loop.

    • in the Browser Input from the properties panel give the output of the variable that has been set to the Open Browser activity
    • Once the last url is reached the loop will end and at the end(outside the for each row activity) use Close Tab or kill activity
