When working with an array, you often have to write array data to an Excel document. Let’s imagine that we wrote data on various characteristics of an element from a page into variables using the “Get element property” activity for “Several elements". If we are collecting data on open jobs from a recruiting site, we have variables such as company, position, city, and link.

The data that will be written to Excel will first be stored in the variable ‘table_data” with the value {"Linkedin":[]}, where “Linkedin” is the name of the sheet and also the name of the site from which the data was collected.
