How to validate that the order of attributes in the structure matches the column order in the uploaded Excel file?
I’ve already reviewed the Advanced Excel Forge component, but I need guidance on how to use it effectively to validate the column order of an uploaded Excel file against a predefined structure.
Hi @SreenivasuluReddy Lingala,
To validate that the column order in an uploaded Excel file matches your predefined structure, you can use the Advanced Excel Forge component effectively with the approach below.
Thank you.
Hi @Nilesh Trivedi Thanks for responding
I have already installed the Advanced Excel component in my Environment, I’m not sure how to use its functions to read the first row of the uploaded Excel file (the header row) in order to check whether the column names and their sequence match a predefined structure.

Hi @SreenivasuluReddy Lingala ,
We can able to achieve this.
Instead of structure, you need to store or assign the header names in order to a List of Text Variable (e.g., ExpectedHeaders). Then you can use the Advanced Excel actions like Workbook_Open_BinaryData, Worksheet_SelectByIndex, Cell_ReadByIndex from the Excel Forge component to read the header row from the uploaded Excel file.
Also, for testing, my variable has the headers in this order: Name, Age, Year, Phone. So please create an Excel file with these headers or use the sample Excel file attached. You can also test by changing the header order or names to see the validation result.

Also can able to achieve with Static Entity like below with Order. Here find the updated OML for both Entity & List of Text Variable based solution.
Hope this works.
