Unable to write data into UI element Pane

[Th11]

Hi @Nived_Nambiar , I am new to PAD. I saw lot of your replies on the power automate forum. so I thought you will be the right person to resolve my issue. I want to do Excel Automation. Power Automate Desktop has to read the datas from spread sheet and write it in the desktop application. If i use populate text field in window it detects Ui elements and pane table. I am able to write the data into the Ui elements by using the above action. But i am not able to write the data(Eg:Date) into the UI element pane  .Can you please let me know your thoughts regarding this Issue. Thanks!

Hi @Th11

[Th11]

Its not throwing any error message and not entering date in the text field(Pane - table)

Hi @Th11 

Is the input field is disabled?

were you able to type the data in the field manually ?

Also use click action on that ui element before using populate text. 

May be that helps !

Mark it as solution if it resolves your query !

Hi @Nived_Nambiar , Thanks for your response.

I am able to enter the date manually.

I used mouse click action and then used populate text. But its not writing the date from the spreadsheet.

By using send keys action am able to enter the date.

Hi @Th11 

Kindly confirm that whether you were using this action 

[Th11]

Hi @Nived_Nambiar , yes I used this action. In the advanced section if I select append value then it is writing some value but if I give replace value then it is not working. I want to write the data(Date) from the spread sheet. Thanks!

As you are saying that you need to write the Date, so I suggest you check the value which you are getting from the excel, If that is the same format which the ui element is also expecting then fine but if not try to use convert datetime to text action and convert according to dateformat in ui element

Hope this may help you

Hi @Srini007 ,Thank you for your response. My spreadsheet and UI element has the same format(Date). But its not writing the date from the spreadsheet. If I give send keys option then it is writing. In my form the Ui element is inside the Pane table. I am not sure why it is not writing If I use populate text field in window Action. Thanks!

@Th11 

Can you share the UI Element screenshot and also the data you are having?

Also can you tell me populate text action is it giving problem for only the Date field only or to other elements also?
