How To Put Data From A Column Of DataTable To List – In UiPath

While performing automation, we might be required to take the values from a particular column and then convert it to list so that we can perform further actions or decision flows.

Let us see how to do it in UiPath?

_myList = ( From row in dt_Sample.AsEnumerable() Select Convert.Tostring(row(“ColumnName”)) ).ToList()

Note:
1. ColumnName is the specific column name which you want to convert to list
2._myList is the variable containing your values


Example

Implementation using UiPath :

Let us implement a workflow which takes a sample data table as input and converts particular Column values into a list of string.

Step 1:
Drag “Build Data Table” activity into the design panel and populate it with some sample data.
