List of string assign date

[NATHAN_MORA (Natron)]

Im having trouble with creating a new list of sting by date. In my automation I need to check a date and if that date matches a date in my variable then it needs to click on a link.

For testing purposes i need to check the following dates.

1. 07/31/2020
2. 06/30/2020
3. 05/31/2020
   How would i make these dates in a list variable in the assign activity?

For the final automation the dates will be

1. 07/31/2020
2. 08/31/2020
3. 09/30/2020
   How would i make these dates in a list variable in the assign activity?

I have attached a picture of where im at right now, some help is appreciated.

Hello @NATHAN_MORA,

You can try this

lstStrVar = List(Of String)({“07/31/2020”, “06/30/2020”, “05/31/2020”})

Cheers

Hi @NATHAN_MORA

“Add To Collection” is the activity by using you can add your values to the Collections type of variable Like List in your case.

You can refer below document and thread for the same :-

AddToCollection Class (System.Activities.Statements)

How add lists

Hi @KarthikBallary Hope this might be helpful to you. Scenario 1: Create an array of string and initialize it . 2: Add Foreach activities to iterate with the array variable 3: Add Add to collection activities to pass the array of string. See image below for your reference: Thanks [image] cheers Happy learning

Patrix,
My automation needs to check if a date exists. I’m trying to create a variable with the dates i provided.I have attached a picture of the data table. If the invoice date matches a date in my variable then click on the invoice #. For this im trying to use a assign activity for my dates variables and if those date match then click on the invoice #. is this the right approach ? I have attached a picture of the selector for the element exists activity. for the date 07/31/2020 Let me know what you think.

Hi @NATHAN_MORA

As per my understanding you are trying to Check whether the value(Date) is present within List or Not and depending on that you are trying to click on the InvoiceNo for that particular Present Date
Right ??

If the Answer is Yes then

Assume that you already have Date values store in List(Of String) as shown by @Pradeep_Shiv

So instead of Element Exists Activity use Get Attribute Activity as shown below for the above selector you have shown and store it in variable say “dateExists” :-

Then you can use If activity as below and depending on that you can click on the InvoiceNo infront of that Date as shown below :-

Checking if a number is exist in a list of numbers

debug it and follow the flow

Happy Automation
