You can use workbook.getsheets to determine the number of worksheets.

What VLookup are you trying to achieve, in the same workbook or across workbooks?

3

Get the count of worksheets by looping thru the workbooks.

index = 0
for each wkb in workbooks
index = index +1

As VLOOKUP has known structure like: image
You can just define in which cell activity will do Type Into with previously prepared string with VLOOKUP. It’s just example but there can be other approach like Click here, Click there, Type Into there etc.

but how can i use click and type into in excel for vlookup???

Just for an example:

But you are asking for basic activities which are covered by our Level 1 - Foundation Training on https://academy.uipath.com. Please try it out. You wouldn’t believe how many useful things you can learn from it :slight_smile:

you are not getting my point/…

IF you want to automate it as a user would,

Open both workbooks using excel application scope and ensure you pass out the workbook as the out parameter.

You can then type in your formulas by using Excel application scope to select which workbook you have focus on.

@parvati

Use write cell Activity and write the Vlookup formula in the range of you excel.
