Regarding Loop failure when executing certain operation on all Excel worksheets in the Excel Workbook

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by SA_VOH 231

Hi,

I have a Excel workbook with 31 worksheets. 

I have prepared a PAD flow, which shall delete certain cells of each worksheet in a Workbook (barring one Worksheet) and the screenshot of the same is enclosed below:-

However, when i run PAD, it is observed that the Loop is stuck on 1st Worksheet only and runs in this worksheet continuously for 31 times, but doesn't perform desired actions on other worksheets. 

Please help.

    Your first action in the IF needs to be “Set Active Worksheet” to %CurrentItem%.

     

    Good luck!
