Hi Devs, Pls I have a datatable of 400000 rows and I am updating confirm column with “open” but the bot always get stuck at the for each activity and doesn’t pass the activity for over 4 hrs now, please what could be the issue and a better approach to handle this update.Regards
May be Try as below
Use Invoke Code write as below
dta.Select().ToList().ForEach(Sub(row) row(“ColumnName”)= “Open”)
Where dta is your datatable variable
Click Edit Arguments and pass your datatable dta as In/out direction
Hope this may help you
thanks
Please which method is fastest to enable processing easily
Hi @RPA-botDev,
First delete the column you want to change. Then add another column with the same name and mark the default value as “Open”.
Regards,

Hi anyone here to help out on implementation, I discovered the issue was because I was the code was inside a for each activity so for it to update the column it has to first loop through the rows in parent for each but is there a better way to this please. See screenshot below, it’s taking so much time
can you please share the entire statement from the if condition? Thanks
newdt.AsEnumerable.Where(Function(obj) obj(“N”).ToString.Contains(row(“N”).ToString)).Count > 0 AndAlso newdt.AsEnumerable.Where(Function(obj) obj(“AMT”).ToString.Equals(row(“AMT”).ToString)).Count > 0
Deleting and recreating the column didn’t help?
when a for each row (and in your case also a nested one) is taking too much time we are looking for triggers representing processing work. Here we do have it with the where, as this statement is looping / filtering over all data again and again.
From the logic it looks like it is checking:
- if there is any newDT row where col value has a contains of current loop row col value
- check is done for 2 cols
this type of processing has a potential to get optimized. We do feel that it would be the best that you will share some reduced sample data (but reflecting all scenarios) along with the expected output and we will have a look on it. Thanks

Take a look at the excel for sample dt and expected dt, so it’s checking if rows(“n”) in and rows(“amt”) in dt same value in newdt if true assign unmatch to column “check” in newdt
checkpp.xlsx (10.5 KB)
no it didn’t, I had long iteration due to the for each
look like you want to check if newdt row n & AMT value is present in any row from dt and update the status col (from newdt) to unmatch, rigth?
Exactly, that’s what I want to achieve, pls help
as written in the linked blog: Strategy is about filter the affected row and do update within for each row. Give a try:
Assign Activity
LHS: DRupdateList | List(Of DataRow
RHS:
(from d in newdt.AsEnumerable
Where dt.AsEnumerable.Any(Function (x) d("N").ToString.Contains(x("N").toString) AndAlso d("AMT").ToString.Contains(x("AMT").toString)
Select r=d).toList
then use a:
For each activity | item in DRupdateList | TypeArgument: DataRow
- Assign activity: item(“Status”) = “Unmatched”

Hi ppr, glad for your response, please one more step here is to convert DRupdateList to datatable cause I will need it as datatable not list of datarow to process other activities.
in general we can do with .CopyToDataTable method. But keep in mind then the new datatable will become a new identity and we will no longer have the relationship datarow-origin datatable

Thanks ppr, I will finally implement, after successful run from my end or issue of concern I will inform you and mark solution

from d in newdt.AsEnumerable
Where dt.AsEnumerable.Any(Function (x) d("N").ToString.Contains(x("N").toString) AndAlso d("AMT").ToString.Contains(x("AMT").toString)
Select r=d).toList
Hi ppr, please this activity has taken more than 1 hr to process 300,000 rows and is still running on my system, is there a better optimization
