Hoth2001 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm a newbie. And after watching an online tutorial for automating Excel I've written some simple code to open an excel workbook #include<Excel.au3> Local $oExcel_1 = _Excel_Open() Local $sWorkbook = "C:\Users\User\Desktop\CPMautomatorTest.csv" Local $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel_1,$sWorkbook) Next thing I want to do is delete Rows 2 through 10 in the workbook I've just opened. I'm not clear about the syntax and referring to the right objects. I Tried with this code: #include<Excel.au3> Local $oExcel_1 = _Excel_Open() Local $sWorkbook = "C:\Users\User\Desktop\CPMautomatorTest.csv" Local $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel_1,$sWorkbook) Local $oWorkbook = _Excel_RangeDelete($oExcel_1, "2:10") Which opens the workbook but does not delete the rows I want. Please help with the syntax error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowmore Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Have another read of the help file for _Excel_RangeDelete() It takes a worksheet object as the first parameter #include<Excel.au3> Local $oExcel_1 = _Excel_Open() Local $sWorkbook = "C:\Users\User\Desktop\CPMautomatorTest.csv" Local $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel_1,$sWorkbook) Local $result = _Excel_RangeDelete($oWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1"), "2:10") ;Deletes Rows 2 to 10 on Sheet1 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots.
