Hi,

You can get the cell values in to a collection from excel and using loop stage you can achieve this.

Use 'Run Process' action of Utility - Environment VBO with Inputs:
Application: Path for IE or Chrome or Firefox​
Arguments: [Collection.Value] which contains the link value​

Post back if this works!

Revathi,

1. Use 'start process' action with the path of exeutable file, not the path of shortcut.
2. Can you share the collection screenshot , the error says that the field value is not matching.
3. Also, share a screenshot of the entire process flow

There is no header for the collection, that is causing error when you are using [data1.Value] . You can either add a header to you Excelsheet do OR you can add a field of type text to the collection; making the collection a defined collection.

Alright! To your excel column add a header, meaning, to the top row of the column. Let's say you have data in column A in you excel sheet, the value in cell A1 is treated as header to identify the column.
Put 'Value' in the top cell of the column, that should fix the error if you are using [Data1.Value] as argument in the 'Start Process' action.
