note

You can use the Get Selected Range activity as a confirmation tool or as an information extractor tool.

  • Confirmation tool: when used together with the Select Range activity, the Get Selected Range activity confirms the automatically selected range.
  • Information Extractor Tool: when used as a standalone activity, Get Selected Range extracts the information and notifies the user about the manually selected range.

Example of Using the Get Selected Range Activity​

To exemplify how to use this activity, we have built an automation project which opens an Excel workbook and then displays a message box, in which time you can select a range which is then copied and displayed in another message box.
