Copy and Paste Worksheet Range Issue

[EricLi]

Hi, may I have your help?

There are more than 1 excel (.xls file) need to be consolidated into one excel (.xlsx file). I use action "Copy and Paste Worksheet Range" of excel vbo. but strangely that sometimes all files can be fully copied and pasted, sometimes only few of them can be copied and pasted, sometimes none of them can be copied and pasted. I try this with the same resource files. what is the problem?

Hello,

If you try it on the same file, does it consistently fail or succeed?  Or is it the case where it will fail on a file, and also succeed on the file seemingly randomly?  Alternatively, is it possible to perform all of the excel combining/manipulations as collections from within Blue Prism and then write that out as an Excel file?  That way you wouldn't need to use the copy/paste funtions.

Thank you James & Yeswa

Collection way is a stable option. However it is not fit for us because of the efficiency issue. Our source data sometimes contain more than 30k transactions in one workbook, read and write will spend much time. And sometimes will suffer system collapse when read into collection.
