Excel Handling in QTP

Hi Folks,
Handling Excel file is very impotant aspect of QTP coding .It is used in parameterization.
I am describing the process in below steps


1. Reference Object:     

 First step of excel handling is to create a reference object, as per below


Set myexcelObj=CreateObject("excel.application")

Now the myexcelObj is not actully holding anything , it is even not pointing to any excel file yet


2.Linking a workbooks(Excel File):

Second Step is to tell your excel reference object that it is gonna point to an excel file(Workbook, both is same thing).so our code will be as below 
.Please note that myexcelObj can point(Handle) more than 1 excel file.



Set myexcelObj=CreateObject("excel.application")
Set myexcelWorkBook =myexcelObj.workbooks.open(FilePATH)

3. Pointing to Worksheet:

Now the myexcelWorkbook object will point to the actual excel file , so the next step is to point the worksheet in that particular file.We can point the worksheet by index or by the sheetname as below

Set myexcelObj=CreateObject("excel.application")
Set myexcelWorkBook =myexcelObj.workbooks.open(FilePATH)
Set myexcelWorksheet=myexcelworkBook.worksheets(SheeetName)

4. Getting the Data:

Once we have reference of the workSheet , getting the data is quite easy .

Set myexcelObj=CreateObject("excel.application")
Set myexcelWorkBook =myexcelObj.workbooks.open(FilePATH)
Set myexcelWorksheet=myexcelworkBook.worksheets(SheeetName)

exceldata=myexcelWorksheet.cells(1,"A").value
             Or
exceldata=myexcelWorksheet.cells(1,1).value
 
 
Now we have received the data as "exceldata" .so the final code is as shown above
Hope this helped.
