I want to adapt the Excel cell format in power automatic desktop.

It can be achieved with template and recorder. Do you have any other methods

    Can you clarify what do you mean by "adapt the Excel cell format"?

    sorry

    not "adapt the Excel cell format"  shoud be  "change the Excel cell format"

    Change a column of cells from General to number

    I have written a cookbook post over here

    What you will need is #6.

    But if its too much code for you then you can write a simple vbscript (or call a VBA macro) to achieve the same and will also get tons of available code on the internet.

     

    Another option is the sendkeys to access the menu of the Excel ribbon, but I will recommend that as the last option.
