What is the Excel Macro Action?
The Excel Macro Action runs a macro in an Excel workbook.
Creating a Excel Macro Action
Drag and drop the Selector
onto the Targets
list in the target workbook to display the available target options. Continue
to drag the Selector to the Workbook
option. As an alternative, you may also
target the Select All button.
Note: The Select All button in an Excel workbook is located in the top-left corner (just left of Column A's column header, and just above Row 1's row header).
If this is the first time the workbook was targeted, Nintex RPA will attempt to create a workbook connection automatically. (For more information about Microsoft Excel workbook connections, read the Excel Connections article.)
A preview of the target
is displayed. Select the Excel
Macro Action
from the
Actions list
Select the Rules
to change the Connection for this Action. Both
the Timing
and
Error
settings
for this action may be configured to fine tune the how the Action will
run.
Note: For more information about Timing and Error settings, read the Action Builder article.
Enter the Macro
name you wish to run.
Optionally add Notes
to the Action to document any special instructions
or functionality. When the Run Switch
is set to Run, the action
will be executed after clicking OK.
Note: The run switch is set to Run by default. To create or modify this action without executing it, click the slider to change the option to Don't Run. For more information, see Action Builder.
Click the OK
button to
save the Action.
