Create an Excel sheet for the Employee information, and make sure the excel file has a .xlsx extension.

Then create the below columns in the excel sheet of the Employee information.

So to initialize a variable, click on the next step then choose the Initialize variable action. Then provide the variable name and choose the type as String.
