When I am trying to copy a full sheet to another sheet by using get collection and write collection

When I am trying to copy a full sheet to another sheet by using get collection and write collection functionality, it takes a long long time since my excel sheet has a lot of data.

Is there any other way to efficiently copy the sheet to another sheet.

I'm assuming based on the phrasing ("Sheet to sheet") that you mean Excel, and based on that two alternate possibilities immediately come to mind:

  1. Use keyboard shortcuts (e.g. "Select All", "Copy", "Paste") instead of using the VBO functions. The VBO, for "get collection" and "write collection", is introducing overhead - construct the collection, fill it, etc. Using keyboard shortcuts relies only on the client and the OS, reducing overhead and possibly speeding it up.
  2. OleDB can - depending on circumstance - offer significant efficiencies for raw data reads/writes.
That being said, I'd love to hear other suggestions from the community.

If you don't mean Excel, could you please clarify?
Thanks!

Thank you Robin for your help.
Yes this is excel.

We are working on a project automation where our Federal client just bought the Blue Prism license  and they have a large volume of data to be dealt.
and the data will keep growing.

Could you please help guide me how to use the following approach via Blue Prism : Use keyboard shortcuts (e.g. "Select All", "Copy", "Paste") .

Appreciate your help and thank you very much!!
