Hi @ChatchaiSh,
Can you use Datatable.Select(“[Package Cd] LIKE ‘A%’”) .So you will get new datatable with only contains A. After that you can use for each row activity to remove one by one…

Hi @ChatchaiSh,
I can suggest you like , Instead of deleting, just try to filter the datatable as you need.

you can try this,
dtTest.Select("[Column Name] not like ‘A%’ ").CopyTodatatable
The above code wil give you all the records where [Column Name] not starting with alphabet A.

Hope this can help you!

Maybe

DT.Select(“[Column Name] NOT LIKE ‘A%’”).ToArray.Copytodatatable

will be more simple for this case.
So you do not need to use [for each] activity.

You can type it manually. You can only find ‘CopyTo’ then type datatable. ASAT

@ddrdushy1 It’s worked !!! Thank you so much.

@Ajithkumar_P @SantoshPothina @lainh

And great thanks everyone for your time spent sir.

This is because you typed

‘A%’

.
The formula should be

'A%'

The apostrophe: ' should be half width .

HI @ChatchaiSh,
It has custom activity instead doing more code , can do it in a single activity to delete the rows by conditions.
