Hello,
I am new to this forum so to this RPA development. I have got one assignment from my company and in one part of the assignment, i need to -

  1. Create a new folder with date
  2. Copy the invoice pdf’s into the new folder and Create new excel sheet (File name should be date specific).

I have used Excel Application Scope, but I m getting this error- “Write Range : Exception from HRESULT: 0x800AC472”
Any leads would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi @bhosalepranav21,

Use Create Directory Activity for the above question

Move File Activity

Instead, Can you try Read Range under Workbook ? (Note: If your file is in .Xlsx Format)

Request you to refer https://academy.uipath.com the site for detailed idea on this tool !

Ok. Sure. Let me confirm the assignment, there are couple of pdf files which are in one folder. Bot should reach the invoice number from each pdf file and copy that number into an excel sheet.

You may share your xmal file so that i look into the issue. Thanks Suresh

    Hi,

The attached excel sheet contains today’s invoice details and the invoices are copied under the folder for your reference.

Thanks,

Hi…
what needs to be done in order to copy the file instead of moving the file from one folder to another ?
Please let me know the solution

Thank you
