I need to get specific value from data table 1 sheet1, sheet2, sheet3, sheet4 and write it to specific cell in my data table 2.
what approach I should do.
I want it to be dynamic.
Please do provide more specific. I am assuming you need to read all the sheets in an excel file and act to that data. For read all the sheets in an Excel file (.xlsx) I used the following:
Then I iterated through the sheet names to read each sheet
Hope this helps for the first part of your question!

I would like to copy data from excel and replace text in word document.
However the cell references that contain data are NOT fixed as it depends on the number of debtors and the number of table rows the user wants.
Any help would be appreciated!
You can try reading the excel data using Read Range Activity and then Lookup into that datatable for the exact values that you want to replace.
And you can use read the Word File and replace the required values in Word file from the Datatable.
Hi i have found some video and text on how to do this but they dont help with this task.
I know how to get one values but not extract a table.
I want this to get exported into a database if possible or a Excel. But i cant figure it out.
I have even tryed change the "Change reading opption"
I tryed to "data scraping" but the program just say
"This controler does not support data extraction"
And it can't be more of a table then this.
I have heard that it cant be because the structure of the PDF is bad.
Still isn't there more ways of doing this.
Unfortunately, there is no activity in UiPath to read tables directly from PDFs. (As of today.) That was the bad news. The good news is that you can get to the contents of the PDF. Either you get the data (as flat text) directly with UiPath.PDF.Activities.ReadPDFText or you have to use OCR.
#kwoxer provided a wonderful link for explanations on this topic.
I have already been able to extract data from tables contained in a PDF document. At that time, I was lucky: ReadPDFText extracted everything. The table elements were separated by tabs ("\t"). And the table header contained a word that did not appear elsewhere in the document.
Just as an idea, I proceeded like this:
Extract text from the PDF document with UiPath.PDF.Activities.ReadPDFText.
Create an array, where the elements are the lines in the document. (Split using Environment.NewLine and option StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
Go through lines in a loop (ForEach) until the table header is found. (StartsWith or Contains etc.)
The next row belongs to the table as long as it contains a tab. (Otherwise the table is over.)
Split current row by tab and store it in an array: The elements of the array are the individual cells of the row.
I hope, this idea help.
How to read an excel sheet and put the cell value within different text fields through UiPath?
I have a excel sheet as follows:
I have read the excel contents and to iterate over the contents later I have stored the contents in a Output Data Table as follows:
Read Range - Output:
DataTable: CVdatatable
Output Data Table
DataTable: CVdatatable
Text: opCVdatatable
Screenshot:
Finally, I want to read the text opCVdatatable in a iteration and write them into text fields. So in the desired Input fileds I mentioned opCVdatatable or opCVdatatable+ "[k(enter)]" as required.
Screenshot:
But UiPath seems to start from the begining of the Output Data Table whenever I called for opCVdatatable.
Inshort, each desired Input fileds are iteratively getting filled up by all the data with the data stored in the Output Data Table.
Can someone help me out please?
My first recommendation is to use Workbook: Read range activity to read data from Excel because it is quicker, works in the background, and does not require excel to be installed on the system.
Start your sequence like this (note the add headers property is not checked):
You do not need to use Output Data Table because this activity outputs a string containing all row items. What you want to do instead is to access the items in the data table and output each one as a string in your type into, e.g., CVDatatable.Rows(0).Item(0).ToString, like so:
You mention you want to read the text opCVdatatable in an iteration and write them into text fields. This is a little bit more complex, but i'll give you an example. You can use a For Each Row activity and loop through each row in CVDatatable, setting the index property if required. See below:
The challenge is to get the selector correct here and make it dynamic, so that it targets a different text field per iteration. The selector for the type into activity will depend on the system you are targeting, but here is an example:
And the selector for this:
Also, here is a working XAML file for you to test.
Hope this helps.

Here's a different, more general approach. Instead of including the target in the process itself, the Excel would be modified to include parts of a selector:
Note that column B now contains an identifier, and this ID depends on the application you will be working with. For example, here's my sample app looks like. As you can see, the first text box has an id of 585, the second one is 586, and so on (note that you can work with any kind of identifier including the control's name if exposed to UiPath):
Now, instead of adding multiple Type Into elements to your workflow, you would add just a single one, loop over each of the datatable's row, and then create a dynamic selector:
In my case the selector for the Type Into activity looks as follows:
"<wnd cls='#32770' title='General' /><wnd ctrlid='" + row(1).ToString() + "' />"
This will allow you to maintain the process from the Excel sheet alone - if there's a new field that needs to be mapped, just add it to your sheet. No changes to the Workflow are required.
I have this Google Sheets.
In sheet named Archive I have imported some tweets. In Sheet1 I have the following formula:
=FILTER('Archive'!A2:A;MMULT(SEARCH(TRANSPOSE(" "&A2:A&" ");" "&'Archive'!A2:A&" ");SIGN(ROW('Archive'!A2:A))))
What I would like to do is to display specific tweets from sheet Archive, containing specific keywords listed on Sheet1. This formula should work, but not in this case when I am importing data. All I get is a #N/A.
Am I doing something wrong?
As discussed on the sheet chat window, use:
=FILTER('Archive'!A2:A;MMULT(SEARCH(TRANSPOSE(" "&A2:A&" ");" "&TRIM('Archive'!A2:A)&" ");SIGN(ROW(A2:A))))
In short, the second argument of MMULT needs to have as many rows as there are columns in the first argument. Here is a spreadsheet that tries to describe MMULT used in this sort of way.
The TRIM part is to mitigate against spurious space characters that may be in the raw data.
I have an excel file which contains 7 to 8 worksheets(sheet1,sheet2 ....), i want to read all the sheets one by one.Can somebody suggest me how to achieve this in VB6.0
You can use the WorkSheets collection. It has a Count property that contains the number of workshees, and you can access sheet 2 via Worksheets(2) - you don't need to know the name of the sheet.
