Hi!

The format of the date is string. but it is not in the correct format. when we convert this string to date or string to preferred format. It’s throwing an error like the input string is not in the correct format. so, we can’t convert.

Refer this post below!!

Ok thanks for the info

I’d like to request to scroll up & watch my question with the screenshots

Then please tell me how can get the data for the last 4 week’s row( Look at the grid data in the screenshot)

Can I scrape directly or do i need to scrape the entire table & then need to filter out the desired data?

Thanks

Hello @Jiban_Kumar_Das,

You can achieve this in the following ways…

  1. In that application try to use CTRL+F-> Find dialogue box will appear in that box pass the MM-dd you will get the selected data use DataScraping/Get Text for those rows. Make sure you’ve created the Template datatable to store the data.

  2. Send one Hotkey-pgdn or END You will get the latest records on the last. Use GetFull text or DataScraping to achieve this task.

  3. Scrape the entire datatable using DataScraping do Filters/Modifications according to your requirement.

Thanks a lot man, now it’s actually working

just wanted to understand the changes you made, like how?

prev expression=
DateTime.ParseExact(CurrentRow(“Date”).ToString.,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-36)

Current expression=(The solution)

DateTime.ParseExact(CurrentRow(“Date”).ToString.Replace(" “,”“)+”-"+Now.Year.ToString,“dd-MM-yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-36)

Please explain what was causing the issue :slight_smile:

DateTime.ParseExact(CurrentRow(“Date”).ToString.Replace(" “,”“) -there was an extra space in the date for 1st row in the excel and i am removing it using replace function…
