Robotic Process Automation Systems and Methods Using A Helper Spreadsheet

Abstract:

Some embodiments of robotic process automation (RPA) design software facilitate the programming of RPA robots by supplying the developer with a universal helper spreadsheet pre-filled with formulae for carrying out a plurality of data conversions and/or manipulations, such as changing the format of dates and numbers and various calendar calculations. When automation activities call for such data manipulation, the helper spreadsheet enables even non-technical developers to program RPA robots using their spreadsheet expertise and intuitive design tools, instead of coding per se.
