Cell in Worksheet Updated

UiPath.MicrosoftOffice365.Activities.Excel.Trigger.WorksheetCellUpdated

Description

Starts the automation when a cell within a worksheet is updated.

Note: It can take up to several minutes for the Microsoft API to register changes performed in an Excel file. This may lead to longer debug times for Excel activities and triggers, or to triggers not capturing events.

You must also be aware of when Excel files are updated. With Excel for Desktop, the database is updated when you click the Save button. With Excel Online, the database is updated when you close the Excel window.
