Hello, Im saving datatable Values to excel im trying to get the column names as well but never worked, , one more thing i when i create new data table always empty row at index 0 is that common bug? i remove it manually
And the sorting looks wrong ex. Value date should be the last cloumn when i save excel show as the 4th column.
I had to do something similar recently. I used the 'Write to Excel worksheet' action and chose the .ColumnHeadersRow property for the data table variable I wanted to write to Excel. Then I used the 'Get first free row on column from Excel worksheet' action and used that in the Row field of a new 'Write to Excel worksheet' action, where I used the entire data table variable as the values I wanted to write. On a side note I'm still trying to figure out how to keep the data table from being created with an empty row.Update: So to answer your second question regarding the empty data table row, it has to do with how you create the data table. If you use the 'Create new data table' action you have to use the visual builder to populate the table columns and it expects at least the first row of data to be populated as well. If you leave the first row blank you'll end up with an empty row. The other way of creating a data table is using the 'Set Variable' action to create an empty data table. You can even create the headers. You then populate the data table the same way you had been. Here's a link to docs.Variable data types
In order to write the datatable with Headers into you excel with PAD.
You need to use two write excel actions i believe, In first one you will be adding column headers and second one you will be adding the actual datatable.
Hello @HazemSaleh
if you are saving data one time daily means you can try with method
Everytime new excel that will work, else you need to append daily basis and file should be created once go with condition else you can use datatable option from PAD, else make a template with header and while running take the copy of that file into output folder and paste, if you are using as template the header you can modify name as you required.
IF it woks mark as solution
