If you provide a sample excel file with dummy data I’d take a crack at it, but I’m not going to go through and create an approximation of your template as that’d take too much time

Use Read range activity to read the excel sheet and store it in a DataTable dta

Now let us take list of strings List A which contains City names of the excel sheet.

List A=(From p in dta.Select
          Select Convert.ToString(p.Item("City Column Name"))).ToList

Now use For Each Activity for List A

Inside ForEach Use Select Item Activity to select the city in Dropdown.

Then Use DataScraping Activity to Scrap the Structured Data and store it in a datatable.

After that you can write in an Excel sheet.

Regards,
Mahesh

I gave it a shot. It’s very difficult to help out with such limited info. Note that I didn’t test this because a lot of the data doesn’t make sense (i.e. no such website as yourwebsite.com).

This workflow opens the browser to your webpage, reads the initial excel file, then iterates through every row in excel using a for each loop. In the loop, it is using the excel file to select the correct item from the dropdown box on your website, grabs the results, and writes it to back to your excel file.

Hopefully this helps you get started.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to reference that range. You should leave it blank instead so it will copy the entire worksheet to the data table instead of just that range
