When using the Write Range activity in RPA to write a datatable to an .xlsx file that does not exist, the correct outcome is that the file is created automatically, and the data is then inserted into this newly created file. This behavior is designed to enhance user experience by eliminating the need for manual file management.
The Write Range activity is built to handle such scenarios seamlessly, where it checks for the existence of the specified file path. If the file is not present, it executes the necessary processes to create it, ensuring that the specified datatable is properly written to the new file. This automatic file creation allows for streamlined operations, making it easier to manage data entries without preemptively needing to create or configure files.
This feature is especially useful in environments where data is dynamically generated or managed; users can depend on the RPA tool to not only write data but also handle file systems without requiring additional steps. This allows for a more efficient and error-free automation process.
