UiPath Read Google SpreadSheet
Step 1: To create a google spreadsheet
All about Google Sheets
Google Sheets is a web-based spreadsheet application that allows you to store and organize different types of information, much like Microsoft Excel . While Google Sheets does not offer all of Excel’s advanced features, it’s easy to create and edit spreadsheets ranging from the simple to the complex.
While you might think spreadsheets are only used by certain people to process complicated numbers and data, they can actually be used for a variety of everydaytasks . Whether you’re starting a budget, planning a garden, or creating an invoice or just about anything else you can think of, spreadsheets are a great way to organize information.
To create a new Google spreadsheet:
While viewing your Google Drive, click New and select Google Sheets from the drop-down menu.
The spreadsheet will appear in a new browser tab .
To name your spreadsheet, locate and select Untitled spreadsheet at the top of the page. Type a name for your spreadsheet, then press Enter on your keyboard. Your spreadsheet will be renamed .
You may notice that there is no save button. This is because Google Drive uses autosave , which automatically and immediately saves your files as you edit them.
After you share a file.Open a file in Google Docs , Sheets, or Slides. Click “Get shareable link” in the top right of the “Share with others” box. To choose whether a person can view , comment, or edit the file, click the Down arrow next to “Anyone with the link.”
Step 2: To Create a Google Cloud Platform
Create your service account
Go to the API Console.
Sign in to the Google API Console .
From the projects list, select a project or create a new one.
If the APIs and services page isn’t already open, open the console left side menu and select APIs and SERVICES , and then select LIBRARY .
Click the Sheet and drive you want to enable. Click Enable
Once You’ve enable the APIs, you must generate credentials that will allow your robot to access the service.
Click Create credentials > Service account key .
From the dropdown menu, select New service account . Enter a name for your service account.
Select your Json key type and click Create . Your new public/private key pair is generated and downloaded to your machine and is the only copy of this key. You are responsible for storing it securely.
