Excel base pacchetto

The Excel base pacchetto contains azioni that enable you to automate many of the repetitive tasks in XLSX workbooks. You use these azioni when Microsoft Excel is not available on the device that you want to use to automate Microsoft Excel-related tasks.

Choosing the Excel pacchetto in Automation 360

Automation 360 includes pacchetti to support three types of Microsoft Excel usage. For optimal results, use the pacchetto that corresponds to the type of Excel that is available on the device you are running bot on.

  • No Excel installed: If you do not have Microsoft Excel installed on the device on which you are running bot to automate Excel-related processes, use the Excel base pacchetto.
  • Desktop Excel installed: If you have a desktop version of Microsoft Excel installed on your computer, use the Excel avanzato pacchetto in your bot.
  • Online Excel per Office 365 only: If you are using Microsoft Excel 365 on a web browser, use the Excel per Office 365 pacchetto for automating tasks related to Excel.

To learn more, search for the Automating Excel Workbooks course in Automation Anywhere University: RPA Certification Courses (A-People login required).
