1: Using UiPath Studio, you must read from or write to excel file. The file might be locked, missing, or
corrupted, causing errors. How would you handle errors when trying to read data from an Excel file?
Steps:
To handle errors when reading data from an Excel file using UiPath Studio, we can use a Try-Catch block.
1. Create a Sequence:
o Start by creating a new Sequence activity in UiPath Studio.
2. Add Excel Application Scope:
o Drag and drop the Excel Application Scope activity into the sequence.
o Specify the file path of the Excel file in the Workbook Path property.

3. Add a Read Range Activity:

o Inside the Excel Application Scope, drag the Read Range activity (from Workbook or Excel
activities, depending on your use case).
o Configure the range and specify the output variable (e.g., DataTable).
o Drag the Output Data Table as Text Activity followed by Message Box to view the sheet data.
4. Wrap in Try-Catch:
o Enclose the Excel Application Scope (or Read Range activity) in a Try-Catch block:
 Drag a Try-Catch activity from the activities panel.
 Place the Excel-related activities inside the Try block.
 5. Handle Exceptions in Catch Block:
o In the Catch block:
 Select Exception as the type of exception to catch.
 Drag a Log Message activity or Write Line to log the error.
Example: Log "Error encountered: " + exception.Message.

Explanation:
To handle errors while reading an Excel file in UiPath, we can use a Try-Catch block to ensure robust error
handling. By enclosing the activities related to reading Excel files (such as Excel Application Scope and Read
Range) within the Try block, any exceptions like locked files, missing files, or corrupted files are gracefully
caught. The Catch block logs or displays the error message using activities like Log Message or Write Line,
ensuring the workflow does not crash. For example, if the file is locked, the error message might indicate that
the file is in use by another process; if the file is missing, the message will indicate the file could not be found.
This approach ensures smooth workflow execution by providing informative error messages while maintaining
the ability to handle exceptions dynamically, such as by implementing retry mechanisms for transient issues.
Output:
2: Use UiPath Studio to read payroll details for employees in an Excel file. You need to calculate the salary
for each employee based on attendance. Use Read Range to extract employee payroll data. Apply
calculations(eg., salary) Write the updated data into a new Excel file
Steps
1. Create a Sequence:
o Start by creating a new Sequence activity in UiPath Studio.
2. Read Payroll Data:
o Add an Excel Application Scope activity and set the file path for the payroll Excel file.
o Inside the scope, use a Read Range activity to read the payroll data (e.g., from Sheet1) into a
DataTable variable (e.g., test.xlsx).

3. Add a Salary Column (If Not Present):

o Use the Add Data Column activity to add a new column named "Salary" to the DataTable if
it doesn't already exist.
4. Calculate Salary Using For Each Row:
o Drag a For Each Row in Data Table activity into the sequence to iterate through the DataTable.
o Inside the loop, retrieve the Attendance column value for each row using
row("Attendance").ToString.
o Multiply the attendance value by the daily wage rate (e.g., 100) and assign the result to the
Salary column using an Assign activity:
 row("Salary") = CDbl(row("Attendance").ToString) * 100.
5. Write Updated Data to a New Excel File:
o Add another Excel Application Scope activity for the output file (e.g., UpdatedPayroll.xlsx).
o Use a Write Range activity inside this scope to write the updated DataTable to the new Excel
file.
Output:

3: Use OCR to digitize handwritten essays or assignments and convert them into editable text.
Steps
1. Prepare the Input:
o Take a clear picture of the handwritten assignment or essay and save it as an image file (e.g.,
.jpg or .png).
2. Create a Sequence:
o Start by creating a new Sequence activity in UiPath Studio.
3. Load the Image:
o Drag the Load Image activity into the sequence and select the image file from your computer.

4. Use OCR
o Drag the Google Cloud Vision OCR activity into the sequence.
 o Configure the ApiKey (from Google Cloud Console) and specify the Output Path Variable..

5. Write to a Google Document:

document.
Output:

4: Using mouse activity do following to fill the form:

o Mouse Actions click: Click on input fields to type data
o Hover: Hover over dropdown

o Use secure text to type password.
Steps
1. Create a Sequence:
o Start with a new Sequence activity to organize your workflow.
2. Start a Browser Activity:
o Drag and Drop the Use Application/Browser activity and use the Indicate option to select
Chrome Browser.
3. Mouse Click on Input Fields:
o Use the Click activity to click on the username input field.
o Set the target to the specific input field using selectors or UI Explorer.

4. Keyboard Activity for Username:

o Use the Type Into activity to type the username into the clicked field.
o Set the text to the desired id (e.g., "dmk") in the properties panel.

5. Secure Text for Password:

o Use the Type Secure Text activity to securely input the password.
o Store the password in a SecureString variable and link it to this activity.
 6. Hover Over Dropdown:
o Use the Hover activity to move the mouse pointer over the dropdown menu.
o Set the target to the dropdown element using selectors.

7. Double-Click Submit Button:

o Use the Double Click activity to double-click the submit button after all fields are filled.
o Ensure accurate targeting with robust selectors.

5: Given an array of integers. Illustrate step by step example using uipath that count total number of odd
elements and even elements in the array and display the count in output panel.
Steps
1. Create a Sequence:
o Start by creating a new Sequence activity in UiPath Studio.
2. Declare Variables:
o Create a variable named numbers of type Array of Int32 to hold the array of integers and add
an array of numbers as its default value.
o Create two variables: oddCount and evenCount of type Int32 and initialize both to 0.

4. Add a For Each Loop:

o Drag a For Each activity into the sequence.
o Set the For Each Item property to iterate through the numbers array.
o Rename the iteration variable to num (current integer).

5. Add an If Condition:
o Inside the For Each loop, drag an If activity to check if the number is odd or even:
 Condition: num Mod 2 = 0
6. Increment Even Count:
o In the Then section of the If condition, use an Assign activity to increment the evenCount:
 evenCount = evenCount + 1
7. Increment Odd Count:
o In the Else section, use an Assign activity to increment the oddCount:
 oddCount = oddCount + 1

8. Display Final Counts:

o After the For Each loop, use two Write Line activities to display the results in the Output panel:
 o Write Line: "Even Count: " + evenCount.ToString
o Write Line: "Odd Count: " + oddCount.ToString

9. Run the Workflow:

o Execute the workflow to see the count of odd and even elements displayed in the Output
panel.
