WPS activities in uipath

[Hassan_Ali]

Hi community! Hope you all are fine!

I had installed WPS(Word, PowerPoint, Spreadsheet), a package containing these three sub packages. Now I had a UiPath process in which I have to access an Excel file which opens using WPS. Its extension is .xlsx. But UiPath shows error: you must have Excel installed. Please let me know does UiPath supports only MS Office suite?
Thanks!

Hello @Hassan_Ali

UiPath supports Microsoft Office Suit. If you are going with WPS, then to process excel files you might need to she excel related activities that are under the “Workbook” segment. That doesn’t require for excel to be installed. Those will access the data without opening the file…

However, if you need to open the file and perform these tasks, then you have to install the Microsoft Office package instead of the WPS
