Posted on by CU29030852-0 4
Dear all,

I have use "Extract data from web page" to extract a table and store as variable (DataTable type).
 
However, when I write in Excel, it only write the data without the header.
 
I have checked that in the DataTable variable, it do have store the header as header.
 
So is there a way I can write out the header as well?
 
Thanks

    It sounds like you are trying to create a new Excel file and insert a table. This is a very good video that shows you step-by-step what to do: https://youtu.be/RB_ySjhm9Sg?si=xsi2pKcQvaKwnwkO

    You can first write the headers to the first row and then write the table contents to the second row.
    You get the headers by adding .ColumnHeadersRow at the end of the table variable like so: %DataFromWebPage.ColumnHeadersRow%

    Hi eetuRobo,
     
    Thank you very much for your respond.
     
    Yes, finally it works and able to write out the header using attribute .ColumnHeadersRow.
     
    However, it also took me some time to work around on this scenario where my flow was Power FX enabled.
     
    So I noticed something interesting that the attribute .ColumnHeadersRow only available if the flow is without enabling Power FX (refer to below screenshot).
     
    I wonder if this is a normal case or it will get improve in future where this attribute will available in Power FX enabled environment?
     
    Thanks
