Microsoft Excel is still one of the world’s most widely used data tools and a new feature (for desktop), ‘Data from Picture’, means that you can now import a picture of a data table and convert it into a usable one within Excel. Here’s how:
– Save a cropped-down screenshot of an excel data table.
– Open Excel and go to the ‘Data’ tab (top menu).
– Select the (new) ‘From Picture’ option (top menu).
– From the drop-down options choose ‘Picture from file’.
– Select and click ‘insert’. Right hand side of the screen will show as collecting and preparing data.
– Click ‘Review’ or ‘Insert Anyway’ if happy you’re happy that the table produced is accurate.
As key project members in many of our IT projects whether, actively assisted or simply advised what they do not know about IT, in our opinion isn’t worth knowing!
