  1. Is the file very huge?
  2. is it a xlsx or xls file?
  3. if huge one alternate you can try is to read data and manipulate in datatable and write back

cheers

it is huge file like 97000 rows and I did test with less rows like 27000 rows and it did not fail with that error but did not remove dupes either. So for not until we have a fix from UiPath, I guess I have to use my old custom logic to remove dupes , kind of use Excel Scope > Use Excel > “Get Table Range” > custom “Remove Duplicates” library we have .. That works for now.
This is what not working


and this works

Did you get a chance to try the solution mentioned in the post I shared above?

That solution shared is for removing duplicates via modern activity.

I tried again not sure what i was doing wrong earlier, probably the range was not right I was using form A2 instead of A1 , may be that caused it .. but any how thank you all for looking into this but this code is working fine now , even on the original huge 97000 rows file..

Make sure the Excel sheet or book should not be protected.

That’s good to know. Thanks for sharing.
