UIpath excel file read/write

Question

I want to implement an automatic process for excel data using UIpath. I am following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed3hYpKofts&t=266s. However, on minute 4:23, it can set the variable into read/write excel.

I am following the exact step with the video. however, my variable has no option for read/write excel. Has anyone ever experience this? please let me know what I miss.

Answer 1

The scope is where the variable exists. It must be a container. In your case, yo have 2 containers, Sequence and Do. If you set the scope of a variable to the scope Do, it only will exist in that scope. If you set it for Sequence, it will exist, in this case, in all the main.

With that said, if it doesn't appear to you the read/write scope, it's because you didn't change the sequence name. You can change it in properties, it's called displayName. After that, it will appear in the scope with that name.
