#GETDATA EXCEL HOW TO#
In this blog we will use to get how to read the data from excel sheet. If you know exact information about the test data then only we can get the information from the excel in proper way. So, if you want to read huge number of test data from the excel sheet to feed to the application then we need to know how many rows and columns are there in the excel. So, we mostly use excel to maintain the test data and results. Among these Excel is very user friendly that we can organize the data very easily and we can read and write the data how we want. If an application need so much of data to be feed to test then we will manage those data using external sources like text file, xml file and excel file etc…. We might get doubt that why we need to put the test data/results in excel. Usually we will use the excel sheet to maintain the test data. If this doesn’t make sense, seems to difficult or you’re unsure of where to start I will whip up a workflow later this evening and develop a simple HTML page to mimic what you’re experiencing to give you an idea.Get Data from excel using column name in c#, We will discuss about how to get data from excel using column name in C#. From there, you can do a few things: you can use the Get Attribute activity to get the text/value and then store it as a variable but you’ll want to iterate through all of the dropdown options and likely append each one to a list of list(of string). Which effectively means you’re iterating through each child and every child, should, correlate to an Option value. This means the only elements that will be in the IEnumerable collection of UiElements is those that are Option tags. So, you will want to iterate through.įor better results, you can set the ‘Filter’ property of the Find Children activity to be very specific like… When you use a Find Children activity what is returned is an IEnumerable objects. So, if the HTML looks something like this: 123
Use a Find Children activity, set the element/selector to be the parent of all of the Item Number elements. We know they are “within the dropdown” which means the numbers are likely placed in between a “” and “” tags as individual options. My recommendation is to investigate the HTML of the website and where these item numbers “are”. If the Select Item activity was unable to be used to extract values from the dropdown then your only other option (as far as I’m aware) will be iterating through the UiElements. Can you please tell which activity to use for extracting values from dropdown other than select item activity? I first tried using select item activity to extract values from dropdown but that did not work. Are you trying to extract the values in the dropdown for the “Item Number” from the screen? You originally mentioned Excel which is why I provided this suggestion. If this is not what you were looking for please give me more details about what we’re trying to do with this website in the aforementioned image.Įdit: I saw your above post.
Workflow in question: Excel_Question.xaml (19.7 KB) This should give you a good idea of how to approach this problem. You would attach to the chrome browser, type it into the field/dropdown/input, add your logic or conditionals with regard to that.
#GETDATA EXCEL CODE#
I put in a “pseudo sequence” in which your code would go. Nevertheless, the automation reads an excel sheet and iterates an index to iterate through the rows of the data table. I made the iteration/pseudo “for each” very explicit so that you could see exactly what was happening in the code and acquire a deeper understanding of what I’ve done that you can carry into future projects. In this gif (the workflow is attached at the bottom of this post), there is an Excel sheet with a column header “Item Number” and the automation executes. Tried to emulate the context you provided in your post to give you an example.
