For the use Excel file resources, must it open in Excel or just a spreadsheet with xls, xlsx extension will do? I am currently using WPS and its giving the below error message.

Something went wrong with Excel.
Activity Use Excel File (Excel Application Card) failed:

Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A01A8
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A01A8

You can find the activity following this path:

Main > Use Excel File.

Excel file path: [string.Format(“{0}\UiPath\Robot Path\Robot Path.xlsx”, Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory))]

It should work with any file that opens and displays correctly in Excel. Can you share a sample file?

I am not opening in Excel application, but in WPS Spreadseet application. Does it mean that the “Use Excel Resources” cannot be used?
