Hi,

I am running PAD for SAP using vbScript and had echo out 4 items into it's variable hereby %VBScriptOutput%

How do i write each item onto excel?
i tried %VBScriptOutput[1]% onto cell A1 but it only wrote 9, how do i write the entire 99047030 onto cell A1?

What is the syntax i should put?

Thanks

I think the issue there is that your syntax is doing if without comparing it to anything. You would need to compare it to something. What are you trying to check in that if statement?
So lets assume %TextList[1]% = 123. Your syntax is asking "If Not 123 then do something" but the syntax doesn't determine what should be 123.
Also I am not sure but it might be better to use <>
So if you want to check if it is empty then:
If %TextList[1]% <> "" Then

Please follow the below suggested approach.
First use split function and split your text variable(vbscriptoutput) with newline and iterate with foreach and write into your excel.

Code:

Excel.LaunchExcel.LaunchUnderExistingProcess Visible: True Instance=> ExcelInstance SET VBScriptOutput TO $'''99047030 90019853 0.00 515.83''' Text.SplitText.Split Text: VBScriptOutput StandardDelimiter: Text.StandardDelimiter.NewLine DelimiterTimes: 1 Result=> TextList LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem IN TextList Excel.GetFirstFreeRowOnColumn Instance: ExcelInstance Column: $'''A''' FirstFreeRowOnColumn=> FirstFreeRowOnColumn Excel.WriteToExcel.WriteCell Instance: ExcelInstance Value: CurrentItem Column: $'''A''' Row: FirstFreeRowOnColumn END

How to copy/paste above code into your power automate flow?
