Using Rapise to extract test data from an Excel sheet

In this example we have a spreadsheet that contains some lookup data:

We want to dynamically query this Excel sheet and find the test data associated with a specific case. For example if we query for "Test2" we want to return back the test data "valuetest2".

The function that will do this uses the built-in Spreadsheet object:

function FindValueFromFile(filename, valueToFind) 
{
	//Open the spreadsheet
	var success = Spreadsheet.DoAttach(filename, 'Sheet1');
	Tester.Assert('Open Spreadsheet', success);

	//Now loop through and see if we can find that value
	var rowCount = Spreadsheet.GetRowCount();
	Spreadsheet.SetRange(2, rowCount + 1, 1, 2);

	//Loop through all the rows and find the match
	var data = '';
	while (Spreadsheet.DoSequential()) 
	{
		if (Spreadsheet.GetCell(0) == valueToFind)
		{
			data = Spreadsheet.GetCell(1);
		}
	}
	return data;
}
