Example: Checking if a Column Exists in an Excel Sheet

In this example, we explain how to verify the presence of a specific column in an Excel file using the Check the Column Exist action.

• Action: Check the Column Exist

• Input Value: Employee ID

  • The input value (Employee ID) specifies the name of the column to be checked (e.g., Employee ID). The action scans the configured Excel sheet to determine whether this column exists.

• Output Value: {ColumnExist}

  • The execution status of the action is stored in this {ColumnExist} variable with the following possible values:

    • True: If the specified column exists in the Excel sheet.

    • False: If the specified column does not exist in the Excel sheet.

• Logical Explanation: The Check the Column Exist action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., Employee ID) and searches the configured Excel sheet for the specified column. The result of this operation is stored in the {ColumnExist} variable as true.
