What type of file formats does the Read Range activity typically support?

The Read Range activity is primarily designed to work with spreadsheet file formats, which include .xlsx and .xls. These formats are specifically tailored for storing data in a tabular format with rows and columns, making them ideal for reading multiple cells of data at once. The Read Range functionality extracts data from these sheets efficiently, allowing RPA tools to process and manipulate the data as needed during automation tasks.

In contrast, the other options present file formats that are typically not supported by the Read Range activity for extracting tabular data. For instance, .txt and .csv files are often used for simpler data representations, but they do not leverage the advanced functionalities of Read Range in the same way as Excel files do. Similarly, .docx and .pptx files are document formats meant for word processing and presentations, which do not contain the structured tabular data that Read Range is designed to handle. Lastly, the .pdf and .jpg formats are images and documents that do not inherently support the direct reading of structured data ranges. Thus, .xlsx and .xls are the correct formats that align with the capabilities of the Read Range activity.
