Posted on by CrisAnn05 2

Hi Everyone!.

Currently I am reading data from a csv file then iterate them to a specific PAD flow. what I want to happen now is to append string to a specific column and row in csv file.

for example, I run this PAD flow to create a new search. for each iteration, I want to check if the flow run successfully by appending column G with a string "Yes".

    There is a write to excel action, so, if it were me:

     

    Get first free row from column B

    Loop starting at 2 ending at %FirstFreeRow - 1% interval of 1

        Do actions needed, and for each YES no:

        Write to Excel at (column, ex. G) and %LoopIndex% (for the row).

    End (LOOP)

     

    Best of luck!

    Hello Michael, thank you for this. I'm not sure about using the excel actions as I've encountered common issue when using it. the excel file got locked when I tried an unsuccessful test run.
