Hi, I have a question with the Homework for the “Getting Started with Building an Automation” section. I have completed it already it the bot has ran successful. But I noticed that the header has duplicated it’s self. I’m not sure why this has happened and how to run the bot with out putting the header in twice. For the homework portion I also noticed that it overwrites the demo - Delayed status...could it be because I used the name “Default”? Or is that correct and the homework portion just overwrites the demo. For my condition I used “Not equal to” for the “If” package listed in the “Read Table and Loop” step. 

 

Demo - Delayed status
Homework - In Progress and Complete Status

The parameters should be your table name for the first field, and the number zero (0) for the index.

Do you have any other Log text to file actions other than on line 14? Your Steps are collapsed, so I can’t tell.

Thank you. The template CSV file has a header… and so does the table of data you are capturing from the web page. That’s why you were getting duplicate headers.

To resolve this, leave your Log text to file as “append”, and add another action after step 10: Data Table: Delete Row. Remove row index 0 (zero). This removes the header row from the table you captured in step 10.

    🙀 smh...finally got the duplicate row removed. Thank you. I thought I had to copy the variable of the index 0.

      I notified the person who recorded the video. We will have this step added to the lesson soon. Apologies for the difficulties.

        Thank you again and no worries...sometimes it is hard to explain things in a forum to where a person gets stuck at. But I appreciate all of your help
