Summary

Manipulating data while building automation workflows is very important. Data manipulation enables you to read, filter, sort, extract, and perform calculations to derive meaningful data out of raw input data. Different variable types have their unique ways of manipulating data. Therefore, it is essential to understand which functionalities UiPath offers to perform various manipulations based on each data type. This chapter provided you with a good understanding of how to manipulate data in the most commonly used variable types such as strings, arrays, lists, and dictionaries.

The concepts learned in this chapter are very helpful in building complex workflow solutions with many manipulations. The following chapters use the basic knowledge gained in this chapter to perform complex actions such as interacting with Excel files, emails, user interfaces (UIs), and so on. As a result, it is essential to understand the concepts and methods described in this chapter. The next chapter...
