Hello guys,

As shown in the screenshot below Uipath reading the Excel file but not close, actually stuck in the process forever :smiley: . I sometimes got the same error and have to stop the process. While the process stuck here, i open the Excel file and seeing this locked by ‘another user’ but another user is actually no one, just robot. I also open task manager and not see any open Excel file, so what should do i need to do to avoid getting this error ? (using kill process maybe the solution :smiley:

Hi! Welcome to community!

There could be many reasons:

  1. File may corrupted
  2. Try to copy the data from this excel to another excel.

Follow the steps to overcome the issue:

  1. Use workbook activities instead of Excel activities…
  2. Close the excel before doing the process…

Please let me know if you need further assistance

Regards,
NaNi
