Data Table Methods

QTP Data Table Methods

(1) Add Sheet:
We can use this method to “add” one new sheet to the run time data table.
Syntax: DataTable.AddSheet "sheet name"
Ex: DataTable.AddSheet "gcreddy"

(2) Delete Sheet:

We can use this method to “delete” one specified sheet from the Run Time Data table.


Syntax: datatable.DeleteSheet (Sheet_ID)
Ex: datatable.DeleteSheet (3)


(3) GetSheetCount


We can use this method to count number of sheets in the run time data table.


Syntax:
datatable.GetSheetCount
msgbox datatable.GetSheetCount

(4) GetRowCount


We can use this method to count number of rows in the 1st sheet
(longest column) of the Run time data table.


Syntax: datatable.GetRowCount


Ex: msgbox datatable.GetRowCount

(5) GetSheet


We can use this method to return a specified sheet from the Run Time data table.


Syntax: datatable.GetSheet(SheetID)


Ex: msgbox datatable. GetSheet(1).GetRowCount


(6) Value

We can use this method to set or get value of cell in the specified parameter and the current row of the Rum time data table.


To set data


Syntax: datatable.Value(Parameter_Name, Sheet_Name) = Value / variable Or

datatable(Parameter_Name, Sheet_Name) = Value / variable


To get data

Syntax: Variable = datatable.Value(Parameter_Name, Sheet_Name) Or

Variable = datatable(Parameter_Name, Sheet_Name)


Ex:

Option explicit Dim a, b, c


a=datatable.Value (1,1) b=datatable.Value (2,1) c=cint(a)+cint(b) datatable.Value (3,1) = c

Note: Default property of Datatable is value

(7) SetCurrentRow


We can use this method to take a specified row as current row in the Run Time Datatable (By default it is 1st Row of 1st Sheet)

Syntax: datatable.SetCurrentRow(Row_Number)

g="gcreddy"
datatable.SetCurrentRow (3) datatable.Value (1,1) = g


(8) SetNextRow


We can use this method to take the row after the current Row as New Current Row in the Run time data table.


Syntax: datatable.SetNextRow

Ex: g="gcreddy"

datatable.SetCurrentRow (3) datatable.SetNextRow datatable.Value (1,1) = g


(9) SetPrevRow

We can use this method to take the row before the current Row as New Current Row in the Run time data table.


Syntax: datatable.SetPrevRow


Ex: g="gcreddy"


datatable.SetCurrentRow (3) datatable.SetPrevRow datatable.Value (1,1) = s


(10) Import

We can use this method to import Microsoft Excel File to the Runtime Data Table (Including all sheets)


Syntax: datatable.Import “Path of File”

Ex: datatable.Import “F:\Inputdata.xls”

11) ImportSheet 

We can use this method to import a specified sheet of Microsoft Excel Sheet to the Runtime Data table.


Syntax: datatable.ImportSheet “Path of File”, “Source Sheet”, “Destination Sheet”

Ex: datatable.ImportSheet “E:\gcreddy.xls”,3,1

(12) Export


We can use this method to export a copy of Run Time Data table to another location (Including all sheets)


Syntax: datatable.Export “Path of File”


Ex: datatable.Export “F:\gcreddy.xls”


13) ExportSheet 


We can use this method to export a copy specified sheet of Run Time Data table to the existing or new Excel File.

Syntax: datatable.ExportSheet “Path of File”, “Sheet Name / Source Sheet”


Ex: datatable.ExportSheet “F:\gcreddy.xls”, 2

Data Driven Testing for Login Operation using Data Table methods

Datatable.AddSheet "Login"
Datatable.ImportSheet "C:\Documents and Settings\gcr\Desktop\gcreddy.xls",1,3
Rows_count=Datatable.GetSheet(3).GetRowCount

For i= 1 to Rows_count
    Datatable.SetCurrentRow(i)
SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe","","C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\","open"
Dialog("Login").Activate
Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set Datatable("Agent",3)
Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Password:").Set Datatable("Pwd",3)
Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").Click

If window("Flight Reservation").exist(10) Then
    Login="Login Operation Successful"
    Datatable("Result",3)=Login
    Reporter.ReportEvent micPass,"res","Passed"
    else
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"res","Failed"
Login="Login Operation Failed"
Datatable("Result",3)=Login

Dialog("Login").Dialog("Flight Reservations").WinButton("OK").Click
Dialog("Login").WinButton("Cancel").Click
End If

If Window("Flight Reservation").Exist(3)Then
    Window("Flight Reservation").Close
    End if
