Excel Scripting in QTP
Excel File / Work Book Operations
-------------------------------------------------'Objects in Excel Object Model a) Excel Application - Excel Application Object b) Excel Workbook / File - Workbook Object - Worksheet

for QTP Information

c) Excel Worksheet / sheet

-----------------------------------------------------Note: Without creating Work Book Object and Work Sheet Object, we can perform all Excel Application Operations using Excel Application(Main) Object, but for user friendliness we use those objects. 'Creating Excel Application Object Set Variable=CreateObject("Excel.Application")'Create Excel Application Object Dim objExcel Set objExcel=CreateObject("Excel.Application") Important Operations on Excel files for Test Automation Using QuickTest Professional (QTP) a) Create Excel Files b) Open Excel Files

c) Copy Excel Files d) Delete Excel Files e) Move Excel Files f) Read Data e) Read Data for Data driven Testing f) Write Data g) Write Test Result h) Comparing data (One to one) i) Comparing data (One to Many) j) Comparing data (Many to one) k) Comparing data (Many to Many Exact) l) Comparing data (Many to Many Textual) m) Searching for strings

Examples:
--------------------------------------------1) 'Create Excel file /Work book Dim objExcel Set objExcel=CreateObject("Excel.Application") objExcel.Visible=True 'To view the Operations objExcel.Workbooks.Add 'Creatining Excel file / workbook objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\gcreddy.xls" objExcel.Quit 'To Quit the Excel Application Set objExcel=Nothing -----------------------------------------------------------
