Using the Read Range activity with an empty Range property will:

When using the Read Range activity in RPA, if the Range property is left empty, it signifies that the activity should consider the entire sheet rather than just a specific range. This capability allows for the capture of all data present in the specified worksheet.

By not specifying a range, the Read Range activity automatically defaults to reading everything available in the sheet, making it very useful when the intention is to gather all the information without the need to define specific cell limits. This can streamline processes where full data extraction is required for further manipulation or analysis.

In contrast, other options suggest narrower functionalities or imply errors that would not occur with an empty Range property. For instance, reading only the first column or clearing existing data does not align with the purpose and behavior of the Read Range activity when the entire sheet is targeted, which is the intended outcome of leaving the Range property empty.
