Hello @Hovarda52, use “Read range” activity to read such list. Provide empty string in “Range” property as you might not know the exact range of the list. This activity would give you the data in form of a datatable which you can traverse using For Each row activity.

Please refer the link: https://www.uipath.com/activities-guide/excel.read-range

Let me know if this helps!

Hello @Prakshi_Tyagi it works thank you very much.
But how I can read now cell by cell and row by row until the list is end ?

Copy a Cell in a other document then jump in the next column and copy this in a other dcument.
Then jump in a new Row and so on…

Thank you

This can help

foreach (Row in dtOutput.Rows)// For each row
{
    foreach(Col in dtOutput.Columns)// For each column of a row
     {
            If( Row(col) = "Emp_Name")
            {
                // activity
             }
      }
}

One could use .TakeWhile here as well, if you want to iterate until a condition is met:

// Take rows until nested function returns false, in this example if first cell value = END it will break out of the loop
foreach (Row in dtOutput.AsEnumerable.TakeWhile(Function(x) x(0).ToString <> "END"))
{
   // your processing here
}

Tha way you avoid additional nesting which can make the workflow much less readable and you don’t need an exit condition inside the loop.
It depends on what you’re used to, but I find it much more readable. Same goes with .SkipWhile if you need to skip until some value is found (a date later than today for example).

Hi,

Use the DataTable variable that you got from “Read Range” activity. And pass it in “For Each Row” activity as input. Then, it’ll take care of your need.

Example:(From your sample data)

First row comes as Datarow like user1 pswd1 under their respective columns. All you need to do for your scenario is pass the current variables to your respective text boxes (Webpage login)
