Saving specific datatable rows to excel sheet

Help

I am automating a data entry process(user creation) where I am working with multiple rows with multiple columns holding values(may contain blank or null). So, I want my program to read rows one by one and create users while saving rows with missing values in a excel sheet(without creating a user). I have used a “IF” condition that only creates user that does not have any missing values. I am also facing problem using multiple conditions in a “IF” statement!

@Manjuts90 thank you for replying. I have used row(“rowname”).toString<> for writing data in specified text boxes(while creating username by filling online form)! my question is how can i save a specific row from my “ELSE” part of the code in a excel sheet

@zahin create dataTable with columns as many as in excel use datarow activity in else part. After loop completion u write that datatable to new excel for ur reference.

row is used in for each loop and dtout is newly created datatable.
i have used a write range with dtout at the end of the for each loop. but its giving an error saying -
"Main(Autosaved) has thrown an exception

Source: Add data row

Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. This error usually occurs when using a variable with no set value (not initialized).

Exception Type: NullReferenceException"

@zahin i am not sure about ur error try below method instead of add data row in else part. In place of “dt1” give ur target datatable name

Hi Zahin,

This error occurs when the Datarow (here its row variable) is empty/blank (all columns).
Probably you need to add one more condition using IF

 String.IsNullOrEMpty(String.Join("",row.ItemArray()))

If its true, then you can add a new row in the dtOut using Add Data Row with the following specified properties,

DataRow - dtOut.NewRow
Datatable - dtOut

If its false, add data row wont work [Error : The datarow already belongs to the other table]
In such case use ImportRow as mentioned by Manju, with following properties,

 TargetObject - dtOut
 MethodName - ImportRow
 Parameters ->
 IN - System.Data.DataRow - row

leave the rest of the properties as empty
