How To Execute Macro – In UiPath

To automate few excel tasks, we might sometimes consider macros during our RPA implementation.

let’s see how to execute a macro through UiPath…!!!

Example

Implementation using UiPath :

Let us implement a workflow to create serial numbers in excel file according to the user using a macro code.

(Please ignore the macro code if you don’t understand it, because our goal here is to learn the integration rather than the macro code)

Macro(File has been attached in the source code- Open the excel file and press ALT+11 key to display the macro):
