    Hi,Kush12

    I am also try copy cell from excel worksheet inside that when I used  copy mode: Values of named cells

    I got same error.

    Instead of this  copy mode: Values of named cells you can used different available approach it can work for your requirement.

    Hello Chetan1234

    I have tried the other approach already, but I need to use because my amount of data in row keeps changing and I tried using the mode: Values form range of cells but it not efficient to get the data copy. Also is it an issue with RPD and why is it does not work can you explain or if anyone else know because that What I really need to use for my project.

     

    Thanks!
