I have dateable , and I put assign with this code

(From r In dtData.AsEnumerable
Select ia = r.ItemArray.toList
Select ic = ia.ConvertAll(Function (e) e.ToString.Trim.Replace(" ",“NA”)).toArray()
Select dtCorrected.Rows.Add(ic)).CopyToDataTable()

it is correct ?

@ppr

Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression “(From r In dtData.AsEnumerable Select ia = r.ItemArray.toList Select ic = ia.ConvertAll(Function (e) e.ToString.Trim.Replace(” “,“NA”)).toArray()Select dtCorrected.Rows.Add(ic)).CopyToDataTable()”.
‘Rows’ is not a member of ‘UiPath.Core.GenericValue’. Sequence.xaml

This the error

@Dev2
find some starter help here:
Replace_AllCellsAllRows_EmptyNothingWith0.xaml (7.3 KB)

ensure the correct datatypes. The issue from above comes from the wrong datatype; generic value. dtCorrected has to be of datatype Datatable

Thanks i will see that

it could be dynamic so if we have any number of coalman’s and rows ?

9

Yes, it is dynamic and look in every column and every row for it

10

@ppr

dtData.Rows(2)(0)

this mean row 2 and 0 ?

11

@Dev2

the syntax: dtData.Rows(2)(0) means: third row from datatable first column

12

yes that what I mean , it is possible if we do not specify the row ? as dynamic

13

didn’t get you. What is needed, what is the requirement?

14

I wrote 3 Colmans only for example, so Mabey the coulman number change now I have 3 coulman but Mabey we have more… are you geating me?

15

as the statement runs dynamicly over all rows and columns it is already fully dynamic.

in case of all columns for a particular row are to handle then give a try

Assign activity:
left side: datarowVarCorrected (DataType: Datarow)
right side

dtData.Rows(2).ItemArray.Select(Function (e) If(isNothing(e) OrElse String.IsNullOrEmpty(e.toString), 0, e)).toArray

4 8

             5           8

So I have this value but some of the cell empty how I can write 0 in the empty cell
