Hi all,

This is my sample input excel.
In excel if we are getting any other words other than highlighted words (refer, Control, list, Vision) that particular cell should be written as blank.
Expected output.

Hey!

Try this:

  1. Take 3 assigns
Assign ColB = CurrentRow("Col B").ToString.Trim.ToLower 

Assign ColC = CurrentRow("Col C").ToString.Trim.ToLower 

Assign ColD = CurrentRow("Col D").ToString.Trim.ToLower

If Condition do like this:

ColB.Equals("refer") and ColB.Equals("vision") and ColB.Equals("control") or ColC.Equals("refer") and ColC.Equals("vision") and ColC.Equals("control") or ColD.Equals("refer") and ColD.Equals("vision") and ColD.Equals("control")

In then Block

Assign ColB = ColB.Replace(ColB,"").ToString

Assign ColC = ColC.Replace(ColC,"").ToString

Assign ColD = ColC.Replace(ColD,"").ToString

Hey!

The solution which I have provided it’s working…

Just use the write cell activity inside the if condition…

Before that you’ve to create the counter variable…

And in the end increament the counter

Hello @lakshmi.mp

Just enable continue on error for that activity to True. Or you can put it inside a Try catch as well.

I think for some rows the value is null and as per the expression it is trying to replace, thats why you are getting that error.

Hey!

We have the value in ColB right… instead of using the same variable can we try to assign the replace thing to another variable…

Find the attached image below…

And also use 3 writecell activities to write the replaced value to the excel…

Find the attachment below…
