IMPORTANT INFORMATION: There is now a space after Last name in the Excel sheet from rpachallenge.com. Either remove that or add it in the 'Build Data Table'.

Anders, this is exactly what I am looking for but only from a pdf file. In the file are numbers I would like to extract and put into a SharePoint site to the corresponding section. Every new pdf file needs to be a new row in SharePoint. Will it be possible for the robot to realize when a new pdf file arrives in an e-mail inbox to start "working" or does it need to be manually activated?

Hi!! it is an awesome tutorial but my UI explorer, in find element, dont let me change "aaname" in order to write variables or any other thing.
Why!?!?!? =(

Hi Anders, Thank you for your videos on UiPath. I am looking for an answer to my question, I understand that for dynamic selectors we have created a datatable and now iterating through the same. In my recent interview on UiPath, my interviewer asked me what if we have to fill 150 fields on a webpage, how can we do it without using the type into activity ?

Hi today I subscribed your channel and learnt new thing in selectors
I am trying to build my career in uipath
Can you please provide videos on remaining challenges in rpa challenge

[johanynavarro]

Hi Anders, these videos are inspiring me to change my career so keep it up, dude 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽... I'm new in RPA trying to learn UIPath and Winautomation... I made it in Winautomation but in UIPath when I try to get the columns or texts to type into I get "non-invocable member" I've tried row.item(4).ToString and row.ItemArray(3).ToString or any dynamic way but they don't work 😵😵😵... I hope this doesn't bother you and also that this question isn't so silly 😅😅😅...

The selector for Anchor based has changed, there is no NameField there to edit. Its now only <webctrl tag = LABEL>

[Financially_Free]

[gaadas]

Hi, Anders
I have another RPA challenge (real one) :) when a form is submitted, the webpage opens second/third set of same fields to enter with the first filled form present on the screen. How to train the robot to look for the fresh set of fields, instead of coming back to already filled field?

[FreeFly]

[imaduddinzanki]

How do you open the browser without the open browser activity?

[jonasigel]

First of all thanks for this insane tutorial!
Unfortunately the "Last name error" keeps occuring event though I deleted the space after "Last name". It says Last name does not belong to table DataTable. Do you have any advice?

Have a great day!
