“With the ‘Insert data from picture’ option you can take a picture of a handmade or computer-made flipchart and turn it into an Excel spreadsheet with one click” Microsoft enthusiastically explains it on its official website.
Microsoft Excel 2019 on Android can create tables from a photo
“The app will automatically convert the image into a fully editable table in Excel” Adds Redmond firm. You don’t need to spend (very) long hours copying data line by line from a spreadsheet. On a daily basis, this tool promises tremendous time savings.
- Download the Android Excel app on Google Play Store
- Open the app (yes it makes sense)
- Tap “Add data from image” (at locations)
- Take a picture of a picture with your smartphone
- Crop to eliminate the surrounding landscape
- The table will be converted to an Excel file
- Check data (app is not 100% effective)
- press Add
- Give the table a name
Image recognition is coming soon only in the Android app of Excel. In the coming months, the option will be available in other iterations of the famous software such as iOS, Windows, MacOS and Linux.
