As we know we have limitations in AA when it comes to excel. Please comment how do you handle excel operations like create pivot table, format cells, etc in your automation.

Normally, I use vbscript for that kind of actions. Avoids Excel errors as well, with popups and enable edit warnings, etc.

 

I tend to record the actions as macros in excel, then convert it to VBscript syntax and use the VBScript native package of Automation Anywhere to invoke it

Hi @Jay 9932

VB script and macro is the alternate solution but there is another way we normally use which is creating a java package for the required commands.
We have created a Java package for formatting the cell, once to upload the package it will work as a command and you can use it in any of your bot.
