Posted on by

Hello everyone,

I have two question. 1. I have an excel list. I want to fill in the information from the list to website. If there is a new date --> import them. If there is an existing data --> skip and fill next data. 2. if I encounter any errors during running flows, I want to go back the home page of website. How can I do that?

    As far as i understood your scenario,

    open excel sheet by launch excel activity

    Read excel sheet by Read excel sheet activity

    iterate through excel using For each activity

    inside for each use if activity

    in if activity write condition compare the dates by taking them into variables

    if new date =existing date 

    input the data by using populate text field activity

     

    use on block error activity for all steps

    there use continue slow run

    then run subflow

    in that subflow use go to webpage 

    or click on link on web page activities..you can navigate to the web page.

     

    Hope this helps

    Usha.

    I want to compare between a value in an excel table and a value on a website. if it's correct --> go to the next flow, else go to another page. However, I was worried if my formula was correct. Can you help me check it? Because I realize it shows the result as unexpected.

    You clearly are using an incorrect syntax for the %ExcelData%. What does your data in Excel look like? Can you share a screenshot?

     

    Also, you probably need to make sure both dates are in the same format. You may need to convert the date from the web page to a date and time variable, or the date from Excel into text.
