Thanks for your useful help but You can directly set using only write cell .
But my question is i want to do this thing using core coding for example:-

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application excel = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook excelWorkbook = excel.Workbooks.Open(@“D:\Book1.xls”);
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet excelWorkbookWorksheet = excelWorkbook.Sheets[1];
var rng = excelWorkbookWorksheet.get_Range(“B2:E4”, Type.Missing);
rng.Cells.Clear();
excelWorkbook.Save();

Yes you can.
But, You need to use VB not C#

Hi!

Sorry to bring up an old topic. But does anyone know if this actually works?

I’ve tried importing the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel namespace, then within an Invoke code activity putting the following:
Dim xl As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application

(Same as shown by @akhi_s27 above).

However, I get the following error message:

Main has thrown an exception

Source: Invoke code

Message: Error compiling code
error BC30002: Type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application' is not defined. At line 1


Exception Type: ArgumentException

System.ArgumentException: Error compiling code
error BC30002: Type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application' is not defined. At line 1

   at UiPath.Core.Activities.InvokeCode.GetCompilerRunner(String userCode, List`1 args, String imps)
   at UiPath.Core.Activities.InvokeCode.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
   at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager)
   at System.Activities.ActivityInstance.Execute(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager)
   at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong? Thanks for the help!

Try adding below to your xaml file

<AssemblyReference>Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel</AssemblyReference>

Is there away - through the application - to have this code post to the xaml?

I’ve added the Excel namespace, but I’m not seeing how - through the app - I can get the xaml to include the AssemblyReference.

Modifying the xaml isn’t an option in my case.

I appreciate any clarification you’re able to provide.

Thanks,
-J

There is something I’d like you to tell me.
I saw excel operation vb.net with the answer “Unable to access range of data in Excel using coding”.
I also wanted to make work that excel is realized.
However, although coding was done, it is not possible to deal with error easily.

If possible, I would like to teach you.
