In this video, we explore a fantastic new feature in Excel Desktop - the ability to import data directly from pictures! Previously, you could just do this in the Office app. This tool can be a game-changer for Excel users, offering a simple way to digitize data from various sources like screenshots, websites, and even newspaper photos.
🔍 What's Inside:
▪️ Use Cases: We dive into practical scenarios where this feature shines, such as dealing with sensitive data in screenshots and extracting data from websites where traditional methods like Power Query fall short.
▪️ Step-by-Step Guide: Follow a detailed walkthrough on how to use this feature, from accessing it in Excel's Data tab to inserting and reviewing the imported data.
▪️ Real-Life Tests: Witness the feature in action with diverse examples, including a student's spreadsheet screenshot, Fortune Global 500 list data from a website, and a challenging newspaper photo.
▪️ Honest Review: I share my firsthand experience with the feature's current performance, highlighting its strengths and areas for improvement.
With the NEW Data from Picture feature in Excel for Windows, you can now convert an image of text & numbers into a worksheet. This could be a photo from a newspaper, a screenshot from a website or a jpg file. It's also a great trick when you can't use Power Query to get data from a website because the table isn't an html table. You could just grab a screen capture and import it in Excel desktop using the new "data from picture" feature. In this video I'll show you how it works and how well it gets the job done.

I cannot find the button to import data from an image in excel. Is there anything I need to change in the settings?
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
There's an exceptional alternative to using a screenshot of a PowerPoint slide, if you can obtain the PowerPoint source file.
1. If the source file is not a .pptx file, it may need conversion to a .pptx type.
2. Change the source file's extension from .pptx to .zip.
3. Unzip the .zip file to create a new directory. The new directory will contain several subdirectories.
4. Open the new directory and browse the subdirectories. One will have the original image, spreadsheet, document, etc. file that was used in the PowerPoint.
If the file is a spreadsheet, most of the process is regular Excel operations. Other file types may need more extensive operations. Notably, images - possibly in better resolution than a screen capture - could be cropped or edited to remove extraneous data before Excel's new convert feature is used.
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.
Wow, excellent! Thanks Leila!
Again a very good, comprehensible practical tip. Thank you very much!
As always I really enjoy watching your videos
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!
Crisp and Clear. Thank you for the video..!!
Excellent Leila... Thank you for sharing
.
Nicely demoed. Thanks!
Excellent feature in MS Excel. Thank you Laila for detailed information and review
Thank you. Excellent video. you make it easy to understand and use the feature.
Definitely will be using this 👌 thanks Leila
OH WOW - I could have used this last night!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Great feature - very good presentation, Thank you!
Thx for that video. Great to have found out the functionality is already existing in the ipad Excel app, too !
Nice..you explain this feature with amazing video 👍👍👍 thank you so much
This is really helpful! Thank you very much Leila
Thank you very much, Leila. I have not imagined that excel is now able to bring data from pictures. Great!
Great, thanks for sharing this knowledge 👍
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! 😁
🙌 thanks Vijay
Awesome, thank you
Nice! I don't have this yet...can't wait to get my hands on it
That's awesome! Thanks!
This is very useful. Thx
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?
thanks leila for your help, i use some of you trucs... in my job and channel education it's so helpful.
Great feature, Thanks a lot for sharing.
... looks fantastic!
Thank You, awesome, you make my work easy.
Very useful for scan documents as well as very old hard copies.
Seriously u saved my alot of time thanks alot
Thanks! Leila 😊
This is exciting. I've tried the app with limited success. This will be much more helpful. Thank you as always.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
great one, thanks for sharing
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 :)
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.
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%.
Very helpful
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.
Appreciate so much
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! :)
You read my mind, all I need to do now is wait for the feature TY L.
thank you for this tips
😃 what a great idea. 🤗Liela you're my best 🤩🤩
Subscribed, thanks for this video
Thanks for the sub!
Yo great tutorial :)
Amazing tool for screenshots, didn't know that
so help full for me
lot's of thanks
Excellent video. It's probably OCR, optical character recognition.
Thank you
Nice book shelf and rubber plant
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!
Thank you so much! Saved me a ton of time!
Glad it was helpful!
@@LeilaGharani why does this no longer work? The "Data from Picture" button is greyed out and cannot be clicked"
شكرا لك ... ممتاز جدا
You're a darling, Leila!!! This is Sooo awesome!
Thank you so much!!
Another Good Video
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.
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.
i second this comment. a bit of quick image processing and you could drastically improve the import quality. simple levels adjust would do the trick here.
It was the first thing that I thought to!
@@ilPapu99 do tell which version should we use to avail this feature of data from picture?
@@muhammadfaizan1863 you can use something like Krita to adjust levels.
Masha'Allah. You are a very intelligent lady. Thanks for all the help
It's my pleasure
Thanks i wanted exactly.i am a sr. Administrative officer and working in central government office and needed this badly
thanks
One word is enough, thanks
Useful 👍
Eagerly waiting for this same feature is available in oneNote, so I am using that so far
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?
Cool feature.
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.
Thank you 😊 agree pdf data if available is accurate. That way you don’t have to worry about double-checking the numbers.
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 😘
EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC
Great tip! Is there a way to copy a bar chart image from Word and have Excel recreate it in the same chart format?
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?
Another great video, Leila! Please tell us how you included the animated image in your email. Please...
Oh shit this is going to save me a lot of time at work.
I love you so much ❤❤❤
Great stuff. How did you create the Control Shift S shortcut for the Snipping tool?
Great..it's new..👍
Wow! That dissing roasted at 1:12
This feature would save me so much time extracting tables from pdf to Excel!
Except when your PDF files actually only contain pixel images, the better way probably is Excel's 'Import form PDF' directly. Does this not work for you?
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 :)
wow so important topic 🤔
Love the Feature, but like you Very MIXED results. Doing help files from Facebook, many people do post screen shots, so it's nice to input the data table. The biggest thing i see it NOT getting is when there is a header row Dark Cell color with White text. almost never gets it. Still, Awesome to have this.
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.
Amazing
Excelent video one more time Leila. Just a question. How could you expand the ribbon?
01:48
Thanks.
I think - Leila stretched the width of the window across the second monitor
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.
Check your license. I do not have the option in my ribbon in MS Office Professional Plus 2019, but when I open my Office 365, I have the button in my ribbon. This appears to only be available in 365.
Pro tip: use Paint to make 3 additional lines. This will help excel to recognize each cell on newspaper.

Do you know how to use Excel cubes for data analysis, creating tables, updating data?
Very cool thing. But my Office Pro Plus 2019 doesn't have it. :(
Dear mam plz also use two condition formula hyperlink & concative especially insert web link ...
Hi Leila, could you please introduce PDF convert to excel format, and the data is in a cell regularly
When I read the title I was hoping for Excel to give us the capability to convert raster images into arrays of pixel values based on brightness, contrast etc. Ironically, part of the coding for finding and importing the data is already doing this. Especially now with the dynamic arrays, it would be a game changer if Excel could do this.
Only available on Subscription 365
Good afternoon, Leila. Thank you. How can we understand when this feature will be available for all users? This feature looks very useful for me
Depends on your access: Personal and full version would be as soon as it is in production but for administrated updates it's a question post production from MS to ask your IT
I can't find the option 'from picture' or 'from clipboard' !
hi Leila, does it works with Google sheet as well? I couldn't find it. thank you!
