Excel in traces

With the unified recorder, you can populate information or insight into how you are completing actions within Excel. This way you gain insight on exactly where is it possible to automate within Excel actions.

In the visualizer, you can now have data for workbook titles where actions were performed. This helps you in having the workbook name clearly populated in your trace.

The same also applies to sheet name within the same workbook.

Copying and pasting data between sheets in Excel is supported and recorded for a more clearer view o the actions performed.

The most common scenarios of copying and pasting through clipboard are the following:

• Copy and paste within sheet to move data around.

• Copy and paste within workbook across sheets to move data around.

• Copy data into excel from another application.

• Copy date from excel into another application.
