#  Excel Rows Loop Step

The Excel Rows Loop Step helps you automate tasks for each row in an Excel file. You can work with a set number of rows or all of them.

## How to Use Excel Rows Loop Step

This step makes a loop that runs for every row you pick in an Excel file.

### Step 1: Add the Excel Rows Loop Step

1.  Drag the **Excel Rows Loop Step** into your process.
2.  Give the step a custom name if you want. This helps identify it in the editor.

### Step 2: Set Up Input Parameters

Set up these options for your Excel file:

**Excel Path** (Required)

-   Type the full path to your Excel file.
-   You can use a variable you already have or type the path directly.

**Sheet name** (Required)

-   Type the name of the sheet you want to read.
-   You can use a variable you already have or type the name directly.

**Row number** (Required)

-   Say how many rows to read.
-   Type a number, or use `*` to read every row.

**Has header columns** (Required)

-   Set this to `T` (True) if your Excel sheet has header columns.
-   Set it to `F` (False) if your Excel sheet does not have header columns. `F` is the default setting.

### Step 3: Set Up Output Parameters

**Current index variable destination** (Required)

-   Pick an existing variable or make a new one.
-   This variable will hold the number of the current row each time the loop runs.
