Export to CSV

UiPath.Excel.Activities.Business.ExportExcelToCsvX

Exports the data in an Excel range, table, or sheet to a specified CSV file. If the CSV file does not exist, it is created when the automation is executed. If the file already exists, it is replaced by the automation.

When the data is exported, column headers are exported as follows:

• For tables, the headers are exported if visible in Excel.
• For pivot tables, headers and the total row are exported if visible in Excel.
• For sheets and ranges, only the data visible in Excel is exported, no headers are added by default.
