Desktop Automate - Excel - csv Import - Bug?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by matmat 26

With desktop automation, I cannot include the submenu in the process. The fields are not recognised by Power Automate. Here is the way (translated from German)


1) Open Excel
2) In the upper tab Data
3) "from text/CSV
4) Select file
5) Open
6) Submenu 1 opens - here the bug (See screenshot)

The programme cannot access this menu.

 

If this bug should be forwarded to development, please also include the menu when clicking on "transform data".

Thanks 🙂

    Hi @matmat 

    How are you trying to access those buttons?  I don't have an issue for PAD to see all 3 of them e.g. here's the GUI picker showing that it can 'see' the Load button when using a Click UI element in window step.
