Hello All,

I am using the excel application scope… i am getting this error Set Excel File to monitor: The process cannot access the file ‘D:\UI_Path\folder\Testing.xlsx’ because it is being used by another process.

Can any one help me on this…

Thanks,
Suresh.

This mostly happens when the excel is in open state. Can you confirm you have closed the excel before you run the bot.

Hi @suresh_kumar4,

As explained by @anish_shenoy, it’s usually when a process of Excel is already opened.¨

You can ensure that there is no instance of Excel opened by using “Kill Process” activity for example before accessing to your Excel file.

Hi Namrata,

Try using kill process and for the process name give “excel”.
