Hi @billysavior

Use find and replace datatable activity and you can filter the value in the datatable.

The result is datatable of row index and column index and you can proceed with the for each to retrieve the data for the particular row and column

Find and replace

Hope this helps

Hi @billysavior ,

After applying the filter you need to copy the filtered Data into Different sheet of the excel and then you can read the data from the excel.Then you will get only the filtered data into the DataTable.

(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

Thanks & Regards

Hi @billysavior

That means you need to append to the existing data or you want to erase the previous and write the filtered dat?

If you want to append then

Use get free row or free column and using the freerowindex write the data table

Or if you want to write the filtered data you better write that into another sheet or new file.

Then it will be safe the loos of data does not happen.

If you still want to write the data by erasing previous then take the row count and delete the rows in excel sheet

Then write the filtered data in the same sheet.

Hope this helps

From line 12 i read the excel sheet in datatable. That contains all the rows from worksheet even after filtering. In For Loop from line 13, i will have to go one by one row in specific column "results", get the data from column "C" if condition is verify and run vbscript for SAP. Write results into worksheet in last step.
