December 19,2021 at 9:15 AM
Hi Openbots experts. To hide or unhide an excel sheet I have tried diferent workarounds since there is no a direct command to handle this action in the Excel library. During one test I tried to use the UI Desktop to record a sequence of clicks (select home tab> right click> hide> right click (other tab)>unhide) but when recording this sequence of clicks I got the error below and the Studio window was closed. Regards.

December 20,2021 at 8:24 PM Hi David,
If there is something that cannot be done with our preset commands, we recommend to use an Excel Macro when possible. Else, sending hotkeys and Desktop command actions should also allow you to perform actions in Excel through its UI.
I was able to recreate the sequence you mention in this forum "(select home tab> right click> hide> right click (other tab)>unhide)" using the Desktop Click element command. However, make sure that if an element vanishes (like it does when you click on "Hide"), you hold the click at time of recording. This is because the element vanishes before the recorder is able to capture it, which is why it gives you the mentioned error. Another option is to capture the element by doing a right click instead of a left click, that way the element won't vanish.
