# Read Range

> Read Range activity that reads data from a specified range in an Apple Numbers spreadsheet.

`UiPath.AppleNumbers.Activities.ReadRange`

## Description

Reads data from a specified range in an Apple Numbers spreadsheet.

This activity reads a range of cells from an Apple Numbers spreadsheet and returns the data as a DataTable. You can specify a cell range in A1 notation, for example, `A1:C10` or read the entire table. The activity supports headers, allowing the first row to be treated as column names in the resulting DataTable.

:::note
This package only runs on macOS systems with Apple Numbers installed.

## Configuration

You can configure the activity and its properties as follows:

* **File (local path)** - The path to the Apple Numbers spreadsheet file to read from.
  + **Use a File Resource** - You can select this option to change the current field to **File** so you can browse for the file location.
  + **Use Local File** - Select this option to switch back to the initial field. This option is visible only when the **File** field is also present, which happens after you select the previous option **Use a File Resource**.
* **Sheet** - The name of the sheet to read from, for example, Sheet1.
* **Cell range** - The cell range to read in A1 notation, for example, `A1:C3`. If you do not specify this, the activity reads the entire table.
