In this example, we explain how to fetch the total number of columns available in an Excel sheet.

• Action: Get Total Column Count

• Input Value: N/A

  • This action does not require any input value. It reads the active Excel sheet and retrieves the total number of columns present in it.

• Output Value: {Columns}

  • The total column count (e.g., 4) is stored in this {Columns} dynamic variable.

  • If a second output variable is provided, it stores the operation status with the following possible values:

    • True: If the column count is retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the column count is not retrieved successfully.
