Write Row

Write Row activity that writes a single row of data to a sheet in a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet, relative to an anchor range.

UiPath.LibreOfficeCalc.Activities.WriteRow

Note:

The LibreOffice Calc activities package is available in preview.

Description​

Writes a single row of data to a sheet in the specified spreadsheet, relative to an anchor range.

This activity writes one row of data to a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet. The row is written relative to an anchor range, and you control whether it is appended, overwritten, or inserted. You can provide the row data either as a System.Data.DataRow or as an array of values.

Each value is written as if it were typed into the cell, using invariant formatting, so what gets stored does not depend on the robot's regional settings. A number is stored as a number, and a value starting with = is written as a formula and calculated. Dates, times, and booleans are stored as their underlying number, as described for the Write Cell activity.

Note:

This package requires LibreOffice to be installed, and runs on Windows x64 or macOS 13.3 or later on Apple Silicon.

Project compatibility​

Windows | Cross-platform

Configuration​

You can configure the activity and its properties as follows:

  • File path - The path to the spreadsheet file (.ods, .xlsx, .csv). The field also accepts a file resource through the Use resource file option in the plus menu, which replaces this field with Resource file. When the activity is placed inside a Use Spreadsheet Document scope, this field is replaced by Spreadsheet document, which is bound to the document opened by the scope.
  • Sheet - The name of the sheet to write to, for example, Sheet1. The field lists the sheets found in the selected file, and you can also type a name or an expression.
  • Range - The anchor range in A1 notation, for example, B2 or B2:D2. It determines where the row is written, appended, or inserted. If empty, the sheet's used range is used.
  • How to write - How to add the data to the indicated range. Select one of the following options:
    • Append - Writes below the existing data. This is the default option.
    • Overwrite - Writes over the existing cells at the position.
    • Insert - Shifts existing rows down, then writes.
  • Has headers - Whether the range includes a header row, used to adjust the row-position offset. Applies only to the Overwrite and Insert write modes. By default, this option is set to False.
  • Row position - The row index, relative to the range, where to write. Applies only to the Overwrite and Insert write modes.
  • What to write - Selects which input provides the row data: Data row or Array of values. Defaults to Data row.
  • Data row - The row data, as a System.Data.DataRow. Used when What to write is set to Data row.
  • Array row - The row data, as an enumerable of values. Used when What to write is set to Array of values.
Note:
