    I too, got stuck on various locations when trying to reproduce the code. It started with the array declaration. What does work here is: const sheetNames = Array(); But furtheron I got stuck as well in the forEach parameters.

    Hi Sudhi, thanks for sharing the video. Would you share the script how to open other file and do vlookup of data from active worksheet to worksheet from that different excel file.

    Hi Sudhi! This is a great video. I really appreciate you doing this. So I have been trying to create a table using office script recorder but the script usually returns an error "Line 4: Workbook addTable: You cannot perform the requested operation." What can I do to fix this? Thanks

    hello, Sudhi. thank you for your valuable clips. I have learnt much on that. however, I stuck at some point at min 26:39 that you define blank array. I repeated your step but my excel show error and suggest as this quote 'Office Scripts cannot infer the data type of this variable. Please declare a type for the variable.'. could you guide me a solution? thanks in advance.

    Hey Sudhi, I love your videos and I appreciate you taking the time to create them. I have been having a problem with Office Scripts trying to delete rows from a table. Every time I try to delete more than 100 rows, it always seems to fail. I tried removing duplicates but it keeps the blank rows. There doesn’t seem to be a setResizedRange() capability. Do you know how i could delete more than 100 rows in a table? Thanks

    You should use deleteRowsAt() API -- let me know if it works. function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) { const table = workbook.getActiveWorksheet().getTables()[0]; table.deleteRowsAt(5, 500) }

    So since I had the same error as you, I then tried to just clear the contents of the range that i wanted to delete, which it did successfully. Then I tried to Remove Duplicates with all the blank rows, and the Remove Duplicates doesn’t work like it does when you use “Record Script” and remove duplicates.
