Welcome to the uipath community.

  1. Use Read Range activity and read data from Excel file and will give you output as Datatable and say DT.

  2. Then use ForEach Row activity to iterate that Datatable.

        ForEach row in DT
         int index = DT.Rows.IndexOf(row)+2
         Use Write Cell activity and specify range like this:

If you are trying to write in E cell then
“E”+index.Tostring

Thanks for your quick help!

If I do this in more advance way I mean to say:-

Step 1: Search for the invoice in webpage
Step 2: Download the invoice
Step 3: Copy the Status from the webpage were it says Open/closed
Step4: Go back to Excel file and update the Copied status from webpage
I want this activity till the end of invoices in excel
is it possible?

Yes it’s possible and put all those steps inside ForEach Row activity.

@jimmy_jos1
Declare a variable “Status”
Use Try Catch Activity

  1. In Try block at last of all your activity assign value to “Status” as “Done”
  2. In Catch block capture the exception and assign value to “Status” as “Pending”
  3. In Finally Block use Write activity and write the Status in the excel.
    Hope this will help you

Thanks
