Tutorial: Adding Information About the Files in a Folder to an Excel File
In this tutorial, we will create an automation that retrieves the name and size of all the files in a folder and adds this information to an Excel file.
We will create a project and start by adding a Use Excel File activity to indicate the Excel file to use. We will then add a For Each File In Folder activity to indicate the folder from which to retrieve file information. Inside For Each File in Folder, we will add two Write Cell activities, one to copy the name, the other to copy the size of each file to two cells in the Project Notebook. We will finish by adding an Append Range activity that appends the two cells to a range in an Excel file after the cells are populated for each file.
