Hi,

I am trying to read data from an excel file at Test case level.

I am able to read test data from excel ( from sheet 1).

I also have test data in sheet 2 of the excel file which I need to read in the same test case. How can I do this?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Umakant

hello,

depends on how your script will read excel?

read again with another sheet name as parameter
you have to implement keyword where the sheet name is used as parameter

	@Keyword
	public List<String> readExcelRows(int start, int end, String path, sheetName) throws IOException, InvalidFormatException{

		SAMPLE_XLSX_FILE_PATH = path;
            workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(new File(SAMPLE_XLSX_FILE_PATH));

		// Getting the Sheet as sheetName
		Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(sheetName);

Thanks Timo for your help!!!

I was using findTestData( ) and getValue( ) methods from katalon studio API.

below is snippet:

    WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Login  Salesforce/input_Username_username'), findTestData('Automation Test Data').getValue(
            'UserName', 1))

    WebUI.setEncryptedText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Login  Salesforce/input_Password_pw'), findTestData('Automation Test Data').getValue(
            'Password', 1))

If I have to use them and also read the data from another sheet, Do i need to create a custom getValue( ) method with sheet as parameter? OR does katalon studio API has a predefined method to perform this task.

Please let me know.

Hi @umas181929

There’s no native API in katalon to help read values from different sheets. However, there’s a Read Write Excel Custom Keyword Plugin that may interest you.

Cheers !
