readexcelsheet(cons!SD_DOC_SampleExcel,0,0,2).result.values[2] this only work for 1 row data in excel

oh okay. When I tried I got perticular column 2 when I indexed 2 in readexcelsheet(cons!SD_DOC_SampleExcel,0,0,2).result.values[2]. First readexcel result giving 2 columns, later index of value is giving 2nd column details. Below code will also work, as it is pulling perticular column in a forloop.

I don't believe this is correct - when I tried it, I verified that it returns data for a row and not for a column, just like @nikkheel said. The method I posted below should work for pulling from a specific column.

Yes, it will return perticular column of data. So that you will be having column 2 data. now you can validate the column 2 as per your buisness rules.

This is a good use case for a!forEach - since without looping over the returned data, it's difficult to index into a particular column (since as you noted in a previous reply, the first attempt to index automatically narrows the result down to that row).

a!localVariables(

  local!excelData: readexcelsheet(
    ...
  ).result,
  
  local!column1data: a!forEach(
    local!excelData,
    
    index(fv!item.values, 1, null()) /* replace "1" with any other column number you want to grab */
  ),
  
  local!column1data
)

Hi Nikkheel,

Use readexcelsheet(cons!SD_DOC_SampleExcel /* document id */,0,0,2/*which column you need to fetch*/).result.values[2/*which column you need to fetch*/]

readexcelsheet(cons!SD_DOC_SampleExcel,0,0,2).result.values[2] => will give you list of string of that perticular column.

a!localVariables(
local!data: readexcelsheet(
todocument(
123456
),
0,
0
).result.values,
a!forEach(
items: {
1,
2
},
expression: a!localVariables(
value: fv!item,
a!forEach(
items: local!data,
expression: fv!item[local!value]

if i use this i am getting 2 columns combinly

that means

Column 1	Column 2
data1	data-A
data2	data-B

If I use numberOfColumns i am getting {data1; data-A; data2; data-B}

I need output like

{data1;data2}

{data-A; data-B}

Krishna Chaitanya Mallavarapu — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 12:32:22 GMT

in readexcelsheet() we have numberOfColumns parameter you can use that

readexcelsheet(
todocument(
123456
),
0,
0,
1
)

where 4 th parameter is numberOfColumns

You should be able to index the return it gives you. When recently using this we found turning the result set in to json and then from json helped us navigate around the data set far easier and apply validation.
