How to read/write data from/to excel?

Post by adipau » Wed Jan 17, 2018 11:13 am

Hi all :)
i tried to figure out that issue and found that there are some plug-ins that need to be installed in order to work with excel tables.
that was a correspondence which regarded to Ranorex 3.x version.
does anyone knows how to interact with excel tables?
do i need to download any plug-ins or is it already built-in ability?
thanks in advance,
adi

Hi,

As for reading data from Excel files, you can use Ranorex data connector methods (Excel is required on target machine).

As for writing Excel files, probably the easiest way is to use MS Interop.Excel methods. Check for example this post, discussing Excel reading/writing.
