Update Value In Data Table Step

The Update Value In Data Table step changes a cell's value in a data table you already have. You pick a row and column, then put a new value in that spot. This lets you change data as needed.

Use this step to change temporary results, update records, or get structured data ready for the next part of your process.

How to Use Update Value In Data Table

This step changes single data points in a data table during an automated process.

Step 1: Add the Step to Your Workflow

1. Drag and drop the Update Value In Data Table step into your workflow.
2. (Optional) Give the step a custom name in the Step name field.

Step 2: Configure Input Parameters

1. Data Table (Required): Pick the data table variable that holds the cell you want to update.
   • Once you pick the data table, its column names load automatically.
2. Column (Required): Choose the column where you want to change the value.
   • The list shows all column names from your chosen data table.
3. New Value (Required): Type in the new value for the cell.
   • This can be text, a number, or a variable.
4. Row Index (Required): Set the row's position you want to update.
   • The index starts at 0. The first row is index 0.

Important: Make sure the Row Index and Column you pick actually exist in your data table. If they don't, the update won't happen.
