Write Cell

In the Body of the Activity

• What to write - Click Plus on the right side of the field and then, from the menu, select what to enter in the cell:

  • Data from the Project Notebook, a parent Excel file or Outlook account. For example, select a cell in an Excel file to copy the value from that cell, or a field from the email selected in Outlook when the project is executed to copy its contents.
  • Use Saved Value - Select a value that you previously saved for later use in the project.
  • Text - Enter a text in the Text Builder. If you enter an Excel formula, for example =A2+B2, the formula is entered in the cell.
  • Number - Enter a numeric value.
  • Ask when run - Prompt for a value when the project is executed.
  • Open in Advanced Editor - Enter a VB expression.
• Where to write - Click Plus on the right side of the field and then, from the menu, select an Excel file and a named cell where to enter the data, or select Indicate in Excel to indicate directly from the file. Alternatively, you can select Custom Input to enter a cell address manually, or Open in Advanced Editor to enter a VB expression.
• Auto increment row - Select this option if the activity is inside a For Each and you want relative cell references (references without $) to increase the row number with each iteration. This works if the activity is added inside one of the following activities: Excel For Each Row, For Each Email, For Each File in Folder, or Repeat Number of Times.
