My co-worker created a workflow to link data from several Excel sheet following a reference excel in 2022. I currently open this workflow by using open with UiPath community 2025 version and it automatically convert the workflow to suit the new version. However, I am getting following error when I am extracting data from a Excel Sheet. “Recell: TypeConverter cannot convert from System.String”.
the error occurs because the read cell output is string but workflow expects another type, fix by checking the variable type used to store the read cell value and change it to string or use convert.tostring as per requirement or else you can provide those details i will provide you the next stepalso open xaml in studio 2025 and reconfigure the read cell activity to refresh arguments and output types
Change the variable type to genericvalue and then after retreival can change to string or any type
Cheers
Try by just downgradiing the UiPath.Excel.Activities package and delete the broken read cell activity and again drag and drop the read cell activity and then check if it resolves the issue.
