Hi @Sasmita,
You have two option to read the data form excel.
1.Read Range Activity from - File Work Book
2.Read Range Activity from - Excel - it should be in the excel application scope.

But the data should be in table format like

if possible can you share the excel sheet.

you can check this also

thanks for quick reply @balupad14,

I need to scrap tabular data from a particular website and need to write it in to the excel sheet.

what I did able to get is, the tabular format scraped data is getting written in a single cell of the excel sheet like i have shared the sheet.
Is it possible the tabular data to be scraped and written in different cells like i have mentioned in the shared the excel sheet.
Note: i have mentioned my comments in yellow background color in the attached excel sheet.

Hi @Sasmita,
Before write the excel , you have to split the data. After that you have to write the data into excel.

Below I have attached the code for split the string. It took a lot of time to write. Happy coding…
File : ExcelData.zip (1.8 KB)

It remembers the Level 3 certification Assignment 1.

Hi All,
I am getting issue while trying to extract data from different URL in the same Attache Browser using for each row. I have kept some URLs in the excel sheet and trying to extract the details by browsing the URLs.
After extracting 1st URL’s details, It is showing error(UI element not found) and unable to extract the 2nd URL’s details. Any suggestion for me how I can get details from all the URLs I have in the list.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Sasmita,
I know you are using the to Navigate with different url by the help of “Navigate to” activity. But My question is. each url is not having the same element in the web page. for example you have three url
1.Google
2.yahoo
3.hotmail.

Each url is having different elements in the web page.

Hi @Sasmita ,

Try to apply the following steps may fix your problem.
1.Read the excel into a datatable
2.Open browser wiht url “Google.com”
3.Add foreach activity inside it.
4.Use the “Navigate to” activity apply the url from row(ColUrl).tostring.
5.Apply the selector element and get the information and store it.

So the steps 4 and 5 will be int the loop.
