In an Excel data table like the following
Get first free column/row from Excel Worksheet] will not count well if there is a blank string.
So I used [Substract lists] in Winautomation to count the number of lines, excluding the blank strings.
This will give me the correct number of rows.
If I do the same thing with PAD, [Substract lists] will do Distinct processing at the same time.
I can't get the correct row count anymore.
I don't want it to work differently from WinAutomation.
Please fix this.
Hi,
You are right, it does not work as expected with Get first free column/row from Excel. So, I have used Read from CSV file to solve this problem for my flow instead of waiting for MS to fix it.
Thanks and hope it can help you.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried saving the Excel file as csv.
But the solution seems to be difficult.
I have converted the RPA Challenge Excel file to csv.
The ghost cells remain.

It is also possible to count with regularized expressions and looping.
But it is slow.
I am now trying a python script action.
