Regarding creating & adding of pivot Tables using Blue Prism

[SupratimMukherj]

I am using MS Excel VBO - Extended for creating Pivot Tables. But after passing all input parameters also getting error as "Internal : Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: The given key was not present in the dictionary." I want to create new worksheet for the same. Can anyone please help me regarding that so I will be very helpful.

Hi Supratim - that VBO isn't the one released with BP, it will be a bespoke version, so we can't comment on its functionality. That said, the 'given key was not present in the dictionary' error is indicative of some attaching error, and often this is the case when multiple Excel VBOs are used by the same process. The VBO that launches Excel will maintain a record (dictionary) of the Excel instances it is using. If a second VBO attempts to interact with Excel without having previously attached, you will usually see this error. The solution is to make sure your other VBO is attached before attempting any other actions.

Hi Supratim - the error means that the VBO has no record (ie a key in the dictionary) of the workbook - it's telling you 'I don't know which workbook you mean'. I suspect you have made an error in the inputs somewhere, probably in the Workbook Name parameter.

Hi Supratim,

Can you check if all the excel actions that you are using belongs to the same Excel VBO or not once. I would suggest use all the actions from the same 'Excel - Extended' VBO. If you use different actions from different business objects to interact with Excel, you are most likely to face this error that you are currently getting.
