Copy from Excel variable to a Table variable

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 122

Hello again,

I need to load all the contents of an Excel into a table type variable.

 

For this, I am declaring the Excel variable with the file (Excel) and then I read the content into the ExcelData variable. Then, I loop through each row of the ExcelData variable and insert it into the Table variable, but this process is very long and slow.

 

I would like to copy everything from ExcelData to the Table variable, but I can't, so I have to make a loop. Is there any way to copy everything from ExcelData variable to Table variable at once?

 

Thank you!

    %ExcelData% is already a table variable, if you read the entire range at once. Why would you need to move it to a new table?

    Hi @Agnius,

     

    I Want to use the search functionality to find something. It means that I can use in ExcelData?

    If you mean the Find or replace in data table action in PAD, then yes, you can use it on %ExcelData% directly.
