Excel Automation with the Modern Experience in Studio (v2024.10)

This course covers automating one of the most widely used business tools—Excel. We'll go through the different ways to work with Excel and associated files (.xlsx, .xls, .csv) using the specific methods and tools that UiPath Studio offers. We'll also introduce a type of variable meant for working with Excel files, and databases, the DataTable (System.Data.DataTable).

This course was initially built using the 2022.10 version of UiPath Studio, with updates reflecting the new features from the 2024.10 version. It is applicable to both 2022.10 and newer versions.
