How do I use the sendkey action to send the percentage key % as a character? I have to type the percentage character % into excel however, when I tried using the send key action with {%%} I get the the result as { instead.

    @RobotixWork, create a variable which has the precent sign and write that variable to Excel.

    Either create a variable using the right hand side Input variable option. Use a single percent 

    OR

    In Set Variable action use %%  (Two percent signs)

    Now pass this variable in the sendkeys.
