Hi everyone,

Really good to engage into automation in such a simpler way. Of coarse, there will be few hurdles but we will go through together. Currently, I have so many thoughts on things to automate but for now, I will keep on learning until I get a hold of it.

Still can’t use addins (Specially, “indicate” in Excel file) for now. But the workaround in specifying the cell works.

What are your thoughts on the first Robot?

Hi Kashish,

Why can’t you indicate, is it giving you any errors?

Hi malmaslamani, Yes I am not sure why can’t I use the ‘indicate’ function on Excel file. It is still showing the same. The error is
" Failed to connect to the UiPath Excel Add-in. Please check that UiPath.Excel Add-in is installed by going to: Home | Tools | Excel Add-in "

if you’re error is the browser, I closed all browsers and restarted tutorial. once I did that I was able to indicate the name field in Google.

make sure you restart excel after addin instal, check also taks manager and kill excel if it is present there.

I had the same problem (and worked around it like you did). Once I closed and reopened Excel as per the advice in this thread though, the problem was resolved.

Mine is a different behaviour - after clicking the “Tick”, nothing seems to happen. “Cancel” doesn’t work to. Is there something I should have downloaded?

8

what office? happens all the time? restarting studiox doesn’t do the trick?

Same here. Indicate in Excel, I indicate, nothing happens. Wrote it manually it works. Still can’t figure out how to make the project run on an entire range, not just a cell. Just one cell I can handle by myself :slight_smile:

Can you give more details please? Studio and office version also.
Indicate in excel opens the excel on the addin tab?

Worked after Excel restart. It was just after add-on installation, I should’ve known better. Thanks

Usually there’s no need to restart.

I also encounter the similar issues. When I “type into” and “indicate excel”, there is an error message saying “Interface no registered. Failed to find proxy registration for IID”.

I have installed the Excel add-in and using M365. What seems to be the issue?

15

In addition, I have also restarted my Excel, and still doesnt work.

16

I too had the same issue with the Excel add-in. I had to change the Trust Center setting for the Add-ins before I could get this to work.

17

I have faced similar issue, but. when i moved the Application/browser activity,within Use Excel File activity

I got the option to select the Excel–>indicate the excel file.

Give a try!
