RPA Challenge? Maybe

Hello

This entry was not made in order to ask or report something.

A few days ago I discovered a page (I suppose there are more) called “RPA Challenge”. The objective is to use automation software to solve a proposed exercise. There are some exercises but I decided on the most important one, a form filling.

I really liked the exercise because it is not as simple as one thinks, since each time the page is updated, the fields change their order and position on the screen. I’m a bit new to RPA so it took me 1 full day to create the macro that does the diligence through the proposed 10 rounds.

I want to share with you the macro that performs this process in order for you to understand how it works and to serve you in some real process. I apologize if it is not highly automated, if it can be done with fewer lines, or if there are errors. I am just starting on this topic.

Thanks.

OH looks like there is a smart guy who want others to do his job and make an RPA “challenge” so he can use the works of others, this is when a graphics designer goes to a design “challenge”, dont know how people still fall in this low quality bait, “challenge” usually means “hey idiot, do the work for free”

Hello

I don’t know what you mean, I just found the page on a Reddit thread and wanted to share both the challenge and the solution with you. Given your disagreement with this topic, I will not post things like this again.

what would be the difficulty of the job? it seems to me very simple to make
