Open files in folders

Hi, I can’t open files in a folder. There are several folders in the folder, and there are files in those folders. How do I open all the files?

If they’re .docx you have to open them in Word not Excel.

Get rid of the For Each Folder in Folder activity. You don’t need it. Just use the For Each File in Folder and check the “Include subfolders” box.

Hi @sullivanne

In For each file in folder activity give CurrentFolder in In Folder and Filter give “.xlsx”

Hi @sullivanne

No need of For each folder in folder
Enable the check box inside the file in folder which includes folders too

Hope it helps!!

You don’t open Excel files to work with them, and you don’t automate in them by using UI automation (ie keyboard shortcuts, etc)

Excel automation is done with the Excel activities - Read Range, Write Range, etc.
