    If you need to keep Excel spreadsheet format when pasting to Outlook Mail, make sure "Use Smart Cut & Paste" is UN-checked.

    Go to:  FILE - OPTIONS - MAIL - EDITOR OPTIONS (top right of window) - ADVANCED (left column) - Scroll down to CUT, COPY, PASTE section.  Un-check 'Use Smart Cut and Paste'.  This worked for me. Good Luck !

    Hi @Ahmedmuz 

     

    You can try this approach of pasting the excel to outlook mail. Here it will be a background process of converting the excel table to html table and then appending to the mail using outlook mail actions

     

    The overall flow of excel table to html table is like below

    Here i had used the input as excel file 

    Nived_Nambiar_2-1657474302743.png

     

    Output i got from this flow is a table which can be added in email (html format)

    This is the html format table.

     

    in the flow screenshot, you can see that i am writing the final_text variable to a html file. You can use the same variable in the send outlook mail action like below

    You need to enable the option to write the body as html 

     

     

    This way you can send the mail with table 

     

    Let me know if you have any questions

     

    Kindly mark it as solution if it helps 🙂 

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Nived N

    @Ahmedmuz 

    Try this in PAD -

     

    1. Launch saved excel file
    2. Copy a specific range of cells
    a. After copying the data, you could use the 'Get clipboard text' Action to store the data into a variable. This variable could be passed to the body of the email. Here the issue could be with the formatting. If you encounter formatting issue then try using sendkeys ctrl+v to paste in Outlook email.
    OR
    b. use the 'Read from Excel worksheet' Action to store the Excel data directly into a variable

    refer this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgE5_qo-SNg

    3. Launch Outlook
    4. Send an E-Mail


    Hope it helps!!

    Cheers,
    Ankesh
