I cannot find the button to import data from an image in excel. Is there anything I need to change in the settings?

I couldn't believe what I was reading when I saw this. Had to test it for myself since I've done so much manual entry and have been waiting for a better way. Phenomenal! With some data that didn't import well, like your darkened old fax-type image, I just had Excel "speak cells" to me as I proofed it to the original data from the Web. Not perfect, but a fantastic addition! Thank you for bringing it to us in your usual thorough and understandable way.

The first two methods are definitely valuable/useful. The third - with a numeric keypad, I could enter the data faster than I could verify and correct. Thanks for demonstrating.

I used this last week and it was brilliant. Took a screenshot of a table of data in a PowerPoint slide that was being presented to me over via Teams. Worked perfectly

I tried with a grocery receipt because I was looking for a way to import those receipts to excel to track my expenses but also getting the item details to track categories aswell and not just the total. It surprisingly worked great!

You put so much effort into your videos. Appreciate it.

Again a very good, comprehensible practical tip. Thank you very much!

Thanks Leila for your great job! It is a great instrument for all of us who works with a data enter!

Can’t wait for this feature to be available. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much, Leila. I have not imagined that excel is now able to bring data from pictures. Great!

Crisp and Clear. Thank you for the video..!!

Thank you. Excellent video. you make it easy to understand and use the feature.

Wow, excellent! Thanks Leila!

Excellent feature in MS Excel. Thank you Laila for detailed information and review

Some great tips as usual Leila! Hopefully I won't need to wait too long until this is available to me :) Love your new hair colour by the way :)

As always I really enjoy watching your videos

OH WOW - I could have used this last night!!!! Thank you for sharing!

Thx for that video. Great to have found out the functionality is already existing in the ipad Excel app, too !

Excellent Leila... Thank you for sharing .

Great feature for sure! Thanks Leila for the useful demo! Waiting for availability soon, but wish it should have come much before, when I needed it most! 😁

Great feature - very good presentation, Thank you!

Nicely demoed. Thanks!

Definitely will be using this 👌 thanks Leila

Nice..you explain this feature with amazing video 👍👍👍 thank you so much

This is really helpful! Thank you very much Leila

I love your videos Leila, they make so much sense. I always look for your videos first before any of the others. Can someone maybe give me a timeline on when the features (especially for #1 - Screenshots) will be available? Has an announcement been made yet?

Thank you, thank you and thank you. I didnt know Excel has this feature - it could be a game changer for me as it will save lots of time - this is a keeper.

thanks leila for your help, i use some of you trucs... in my job and channel education it's so helpful.

Great, thanks for sharing this knowledge 👍

Nice! I don't have this yet...can't wait to get my hands on it

This is exciting. I've tried the app with limited success. This will be much more helpful. Thank you as always.

This is very useful. Thx

Thank You, awesome, you make my work easy.

Great feature, Thanks a lot for sharing.

Awesome, thank you

That's awesome! Thanks!

In scenario #2, it could be done by pasting the web data to Notepad, then save it as txt format, then import the file in Excel. This way, the data accuracy should be 100%.

I giggled a little bit when I saw the newspaper results. In my prior job we did a lot of cleaning up of these kinds of data captures (via OCR software) and the decimal points were always a problem. (We always worked to improve the image as much as possible.) We always knew we were going to have to check them. I won't even get into the 1, l, i problems. Still remarkable to have this kind of thing rather than having to type it all from scratch!

Nice tool. I look forward to the general release. For a long time, I've used a more involved process that uses features of Paint, Adobe Acrobat, and sometimes Word.

😃 what a great idea. 🤗Liela you're my best 🤩🤩

Very useful for scan documents as well as very old hard copies.

... looks fantastic!

You read my mind, all I need to do now is wait for the feature TY L.

Thanks! Leila 😊

great one, thanks for sharing

Seriously u saved my alot of time thanks alot

Appreciate so much

thank you for this tips

Yo great tutorial :)

so help full for me lot's of thanks

Subscribed, thanks for this video

Amazing tool for screenshots, didn't know that

شكرا لك ... ممتاز جدا

I'll try fine pics, and in case Sheet3 I think first you need to clarify the image then try to ocr it into excel, otherwise I'll retype it manually, it will be faster than check each number. Thanks for hint Leyla! :)

Thank you

In the last example, tweaking the image just a bit beforehand will help greatly. An app like Genius Scan to straighten and convert to black & white will work wonders with Excel's OCR. Sadly, our version of Excel doesn't have this feature, yet.

Very helpful

EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC

Thank you so much! Saved me a ton of time!

Thanks i wanted exactly.i am a sr. Administrative officer and working in central government office and needed this badly

Hi thanks for sharing the all the great info. 1 Quick question may be you can consider this one for you next video :) How can we split multiple worksheets in a spreadsheet to separate spreadsheets without losing or creating duplicates?

You're a darling, Leila!!! This is Sooo awesome!

Hi Leila, I love your channel! Is there any way this can be used to pick up the meta data from a photograph? Time & Date , location from the cameras GPS values and are all sorted with the picture?

Excellent video. It's probably OCR, optical character recognition.

Great tip! Is there a way to copy a bar chart image from Word and have Excel recreate it in the same chart format?

Another Good Video

Hi Leila, Thank you so much for the useful content you always share 😍 Do you know when this should be released? I tried to look for the info in Microsoft website but couldn't find anything,,, appreciate if you can share a link from the website as well 😘

Nice book shelf and rubber plant

Useful 👍

This looks good still not coming up on my 365 yet, but I have been using copy paste unified text for years and that seems less complicated than picture to data and it is accurate.

I love you so much ❤❤❤

One word is enough, thanks

This feature would save me so much time extracting tables from pdf to Excel!

Eagerly waiting for this same feature is available in oneNote, so I am using that so far

thanks

Another great video, Leila! Please tell us how you included the animated image in your email. Please...

At the 8:42 mark " ... what do you think? Is it going to be useful to you? Prehaps to digitize old tax returns? ..." Brilliant idea ... but I think I would only use it in 'one-off' situations. I would much prefer importing 'pdf' data (which I think you covered about a year ago). But once again ... I only learn about these features from Prof Leila ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you.

Great stuff. How did you create the Control Shift S shortcut for the Snipping tool?

Great..it's new..👍

Off topic: pretty sure that’s a picture of Lago di Braies (Pragser Wildsee) on your wall! Been there twice, awesome place, a must see when you visit the Dolomites :)

Amazing

Oh shit this is going to save me a lot of time at work.

Masha'Allah. You are a very intelligent lady. Thanks for all the help

Excelent video one more time Leila. Just a question. How could you expand the ribbon? 01:48 Thanks.

Cool feature.

Hi Leila, on your second example, I see you Ctr + Shift + S, it’s not working on my end, how can I make this work? Also, what happens if you don’t have the option to import data from a picture? Is there a way access that in Excel settings?

Hi Leila, your tutorials have always been excellent and highly professional. But, to try this lesson I don't find "Picture From File" in my DATA tab, May I know whether I got to make a setting? Appreciate your advice.

I have microsoft professional 2021 ver. cannot see the data from picture option. can you guide me.?

is it available in office 365? i don't see an option under Data tab --> Get Data --> to get from picture..

which office version u r using bcoz i dont have these option in my office version.?

hi Leila, does it works with Google sheet as well? I couldn't find it. thank you!

May insert picture option is greyed out all the the other picture option located on ribbon to far left ,, it worked fine , mine when open , on. The “get data “ section right next to it say power query 16. 72 excel not sure if it’s the wrong format but i need access again to the inser option

Hi Leila do you know if I can change the font colour of a file in windows 11

Hi Leila I have Excel Desktop for Office 365 The feature is not avaliable please advice

Do you know how to use Excel cubes for data analysis, creating tables, updating data?

I have another tip, if you want to copy data-in optically tabular form-from a web page and then pasting into Word or Excel does not retain that tabular arrangement: LibreOffice! Not joking! 😃I'm using Mircosoft Office and Excel normally, but keep LibreOffice installed as a utility for some special cases. And the LibreOffice Writer is much better in preserving the layout at Copy & Paste from web pages. Next step is simply a new copy in Writer and then paste into Word or Excel. That has helped me so many times already. BTW, there is another problem where LibreOffice really does help: importing CSV files where fields contain multi-line text! Excel simply can't handle such multi-line cell content correctly. Just open such a CSV file with LibreOffice Calc, the save in Excel format-and the data is ready to be further processed with Excel. Hope, that helps somebody to save time and effort.

what is your excel version? I can not file this icon in may excel query version 2021

Hi Leila, loving the channel. Just wondering if you can help. I have the latest version of 365 but for some reason on my `Data Tab` the get data by picture option isn`t there?? I have checked a couple of forums and nobody seems to be able to shed any light on this situation. Any help would be much appreciated.

Dear madam this option not showing in my office 2022 please solve my problem. Mw wait...
