This activity assists the user in clearing the "Data" from the designated "Datatable." It
facilitates the resetting of the "Datatable" to its original state, primarily for
troubleshooting purposes, especially when the execution is within a loop.

Here's an example of how the ClearTable activity works –
In the following example, I am using the input values from the "Excel Sheet" that were
used to demonstrate the use case. For a clearer understanding, click here.
(Refer the attached sample excel sheet in the use case).
1. Drag and drop the "ClearTable" activity onto the designer pane.
a. This activity can only be utilized after the other “Datatable activities.”
b. It helps to clear the data from the existing datatable.
c. Here I am extracting the output as “Datatable” from the “Excel sheet”
using the “ReadRanges” activity from the “Excel Automation.”
(Refer the Use case to get detailed information).
i. “JoinedTable” is the output for the “datatable” which is
declared here.
d. Navigating to the “Datatable” in the properties to provide the input table
to clear the values.
i. Here I am using the “JoinedTable” as input extracted from the
“Excel sheet” as output.
2. Now, I have executed the workflow to clear the values from the “Datatable”.
3. You can add “TableViewer” or “Writelog” activity to view the cleared table and
execution status of the activity.
(Below is the sample of how the “Cleared Table” will be displayed).
