    Hi,



    I dont want to use DDT drivers. I am using simple jscript and calling that script in my test cases.



    Please provide the information regarding normal jscript read from different sheets.

    Hello ganapati,



    I use DDT approach myself and find it quite handy.

    You might want to supply more details about the error you're getting -> this would increase the chance of someone answering.

    Hi ganapati, your code is failing because Sheets is a property of the Excel object, not the Excel.Workbooks object.

     


    The following code will:


     


    1. Open an Excel Workbook.


    2. Select the "PersonalInformationData" Sheet.


    3. Select the Cell "A1" and Log the value contained in that Cell.


     


    function testExcel() {


      var Filepath = "E:\\temp\\test.xlsx";


      var Excel = Sys.OleObject("Excel.Application");


      Excel.Workbooks.Open(Filepath);


      Excel.Sheets( "PersonalInformationData" ).Select();


      Excel.Range( "A1" ).Select();


      Log.Message( Excel.ActiveCell.Value2 );


    }


     


    Hope this helps.


     


    Regards,
