First of all I sincerely appreciate the wealth of information available in Academy. Some of the courses should be updated for the newer versions of UiPath Studio and StudioX. Until then this forum provides great help.

Recently I went through ‘Excel Automation with Moder Experience in Studio’ course and I’d like to share a few comments:

Comment 1:
The input file for ‘Practice 1 - Workbook and Data Tables’ has two sheets: Tracker and Tracker_Update. I believe it should have only Tracker that should look like:

Currently column ‘Price per kg’ is missing.

Comment 2:
UiPath creates in my case project folders on OneDrive. When going through ‘Build Automation Using Excel Modern Activities’ and trying to use UI Aautomation activities like click, then an error message:

displays whenever Excel file is stored on OneDrive. A simple work around is to use a local drive.

Comment 3:
Newer versions of Studio (Currently 2023.12.0) do not allow to use within ‘Excel Process Scope’ the same reference name in more than one ‘Use Excel File’ activity pointed to the same file. This is why when following the course we get:

By rearanging the activities we can use less resources like here:

Comment 4:
Workbook Write Range activity does not exist anymore.

Last but not least, I would like to reiterate that Academy coupled with this Forum are great resources. Many thanks to UiPath team.

the leaning journey was excellent , My only concern was with videos with latest version was not updated with studio i.e. if the latest version is 23.10. the tutorial video was with version 22.10. as there is lot of methods are deprecated and if are new , the candidate will feel, very confusion.

other than this the learning went as Happy learning…

The learning experience was wonderful, but I do face version issues because the methods are different.
Just wondering if not knowing any VB or C+ language will cause me an issue in continuing to learn UiPath.

You could use ChatGPT to learn VB syntax as you go through courses. It does require a bit of changes, but you get quickly accustomed to them.

Let us look at an example: assume you need to drop the last character in the string variable strWord. The VB expression for that is:

strWord.Remove(strWord.Length - 1).

You can ask ChatGPT how to remove last character in the string and you get the following answer:

The first suggestion would work but you can jog the ‘memory’ of ChatGPT with another question and get the desired answer:

My hope is that UiPath will sooon add this sort of support directly into Studio. In the meantime, you can use free versions of ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, or Google Bard to help you with VB or C# whenever that is needed.

In the "Using Table Extraction’ portion of ‘User Interface (UI) Automation with Modern Design in Studio’ course the column Date Uploaded should be treated as text column. If we try to generalize the solution and use filtering then we see that instead of date in format ‘MMM dd, yyyy’ that date updated uses also: # min(s) ago, # hour(s) ago, # day(s) ago, … , up to # year(s).

Sorting the Date Updated where we have a mix of formats ’ MMM dd, yyyy’ with above mentioned is an interesting excercise on its own and I understand UiPath that it may confuse the students.

If anyone is interested, I can share how to sort the text column in descending time order.

I realized that in UiPath Studio version 2023.12.0 Community edition you can already use AI prompting.

Here is an example:

Hi There,
That was an excellent idea. I didn’t think about it until you mentioned it.
I appreciate you taking the time to make an example. :grinning:

While going through ‘Working with Lists’ portion of course ‘Data Manupilation with Lists and Dictionaries in Studio’ I came accross the following ‘formula’ that changes to title case variable City for Windows compatible project:

System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(City.ToLower)

It certainly works, but I believe is hard to remember. I was not successful in creating a prompt in UiPath Expression Editor that would create it. Interestingly, Bard was able to come up with it:

although the explanation (point about importing System.Globalization) for it does not seem to be entirely right (It seems that UiPath.System.Activities is required).

I understand the purpose here is the illustration, but something like:

City.ToUpper.Substring(0,1) + City.ToLower().Substring(1)

achieves the same result and is in my opinion much easier to understand and memorize.
