Can you paste the data into the opened worksheet?

Posted on by alee001 407

When I use [Extract data from web page], I select the variable to store data mode. But there is no way to paste the variable (DataFromWebPage) to the opened Excel worksheet, PAD seems to be no way to link parameters of data and UI elements of worksheet?
