Hi Everyone,
i am getting below error while using excel application scope:
Source: Excel Application Scope
Message: Error opening workbook. Make sure excel is installed.
Exception Type: System.Exception
Have verified the following:

  1. Manage Packages > UiPath.Excel.Activities > Stable version installed (2.8.6)
2

check if you have excel installed in your system not talking about uipath but in your actual system @RamanathanC

Microsoft Excel for Microsoft 365 MSO is working fine in my machine.

4

because this error means it is not able to get the .exe file in your system for excel
see if any update is required to excel package or reinstall it

Thanks @Parth_Doshi. Let me look into it, Is there any other way of opening excel file and perform actions.

6

yes instead of excel activities you can use workbook activities they do not require excel to be installed.
in the activities panel just search workbook you will get range of activities @RamanathanC
