Uipath and dynamic paths

[Gines_Cirera_Dona]

Hey I am trying to build a robot that simply reads an Excel file. Now I want to share this robot with a coworker, I am sharing the whole project with the Excel file inside.
Problem is, I have to hardcode the Excel file path to read it and this path will probably be different when my coworker downloads it.

What is the solution here? Thanks a lot.

Hello Gines,
welcome in the UiPath community.

You can also use Environment.CurrentDirectory() method as long as the Excel file is in your project folder. This methods delivers the path to your project folder.

Best regards
