Pasting Variable

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by MD_1317 7

Hi, how do I copy and paste a variable?  The variable is '11000'.  Maybe is doesn't need to copy or paste.  Just trying to bring in that variable.

 

I was using "Send Keys..." with the following.

 

{Control}({V})%PropertyID%

 

Any insight is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

    Hi, there are actually two things that I'm copying and pasting, potentially more down the road, but two to start.  Since I'm pulling it from Excel from two different columns I guess I shouldn't copy and paste.  Here's what I did to get the values for the first two cells from one row.

    Hi @MD_1317 

     

    What you can do is instead of reading cell by cell, use 

     

    Launch excel 

     

    Find the first free rows /columns

     

    Using the specific range, get the data from excel in form of datatable,

     

    Loop through datatable and either use send keys to send the text to a ui element oruse populate text action to populate text in a UI Element.

     

    Hope it helps !
