@NIVED_NAMBIAR,

Yes, to use Excel as a database in UiPath Studio, Excel needs to be installed on your system. This is because UiPath relies on the Excel application to interact with Excel files and perform various operations.

When using Excel as a database, UiPath uses connection strings and providers like Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 to connect to Excel files. These providers are part of the Microsoft Office suite and require Excel to be installed to function correctly.

Hi @NIVED_NAMBIAR

Yes, To use Excel as a database , must be installed on your system. UiPath uses Excel-specific providers like Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 to connect to Excel files, and these providers require the Excel application to be present for proper functionality.
