Properties

Common

• DisplayName - The name displayed for the activity in the Designer panel.

Input

• File - The full path of the resource workbook. To switch to a local path, select the plus icon, and then Use Local File. The current field changes to File (local path), where you can provide the full path of the workbook.
• SheetName - The name of the sheet from the workbook.
• Range - The range to clear. This field is required.

Options

• Has headers - Select this option if the first row of the range is a header row. The header row is not cleared. A range that has a single row is left as it is. By default, this option is not selected.
• Clear Formatting - Select this option to clear the formatting of the range as well as its contents. By default, this option is selected, as in the Windows activity.
• Password - The password of the workbook, if necessary.

Use Workbook

• Workbook - The existing workbook to use instead of a file path.

Notes

• Cells outside the range are never moved. The activity only clears what is inside the range.
• When Has headers is selected, the header row is the first row of the range, or of the used range when you use a whole-column address.
• A whole-column or whole-row range, such as A:A, is limited to the used range of the sheet.
• Range must refer to the sheet in SheetName. A range that includes a sheet name, such as Sheet2!A1:A10, is not supported and causes an error.
