You are not just a greatest trainer also a very good man.i understand you are a very busy man , althow you respond very quick. I was share a little problem you answered my questions very quick but sir I can't find my solution from the jeneral journal tutorial, my problem is not complicated. I just want to Extract one cell data based on drop-down list not multiple or range data. Thank you very much.
Hi and thanks for your question. The best way to get your answer to this specific question is to display your current workbook, code and screenshots in our Excel For Freelancers Facebook Group here: bit.ly/groupexcel We have over 25,000 members who can help you with this, and thanks so much.
@@ExcelForFreelancers Thank you for all your great videos and excel files besides your kindness. I wish you good health and happy life. God wills it for you, from good to best.
Great video as always,but could you show a video at the end with whatever great task you have made working like it's the first time it is been run,hope this makes sense.
Thankyou for sharing such detailed video. its very helpful! i just have one qustion, I need to do these steps with pdf files but the pdf are actually in multiple folders can we do that? (i need to extract a number from pdf from each of the folders, each folder is one individual so we have multiple folders.)
HI and thanks. I also got your email on this. It is certainly possible to cycle through subfolders on this as well You can find more on that here: exceloffthegrid.com/vba-code-loop-files-folder-sub-folders/ I hope this helps and thanks so much.
Hi , Thank you so much sharing and making this great video. One quick question, can these macros be run using Adobe Reader software instead of Foxit ?? Probably I need to tweak the code here and there , to adjust the settings with Adobe. But it is at all possible , or we need to use Foxit .
Hi and thanks Anirban, I am glad you enjoyed the video. It is possible with Adobe however you would have to purchase their full Adobe Acrobat software to do that. You can learn more about that here: th-cam.com/video/uc6palG76Y8/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps and thanks so much.
Thank you for the Great Video! Just wondering if we can search and compare multiple pdf files from a folder for the same contents and extract to separate folders? Please help?
Hi and thanks so much. You may want to research 3rd party PDF tools that can do that. If you want to control the process with Excel, these tools would need to have a good API tool to do that. I hope this helps and thanks so much.
Sir, your video is great. Thankyou for sharing such detailed video. I need to do these steps with pdf files and when I tried using it with Foxit it is not working. Please suggest me on how can I achieve the same results for PDF files
Thank you so much for this video... It is extremely helpful. I am new to Macros, so I was wondering if there is any chance or do you have a video where you cover how to write the macro for the first part of the video? (the part where you click to browse). I know you mention it's a pretty straight forward, but I am actually writing the code like what you have on the video and it's not working. Therefore, I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you so much!
Hi Alejandra, thanks very much. If you are on a Mac, the code would be slightly different (learn more about that here: www.rondebruin.nl/mac/section3.htm) You can also learn free VBA with this course here: www.excelforfreelancers.com/enroll-in-the-free-excel-vba-course-by-mvp-sumit-bansal-of-trumpexcel/ You can download this file using the links in the description above with either your email or Facebook Messenger.

@@ExcelForFreelancers Thank you so so much! I am currently working on Windows, so this video is perfect. Also, going down the comments, I saw the file is available, so that's extremely helpful!
Hi Randy, Love the idea of extract data from a pdf, But is there also a way when a pdf contains images? to extract them as well... do you have any tutorial about that part or can you make one please :D . thank you
Sir, is having Foxit as default absolutely necessary? My current default is Adobe Acrobat Pro, which my job requires. Will this mean I have to switch back and both between Foxit and Adobe Acrobat Pro as default (Foxit when using this tool, Adobe Pro when not)?
Hi Demetrius, this system will work with Any PDF Reader, including Adobe. I just happen to really like the Foxit application. I hope this helps and thanks so much.
Hi yes you should be able to do this with Acrobat Pro or Standard as well, however some of the shortcut keys and details may be slightly different. Please give it a try.
Hi and thanks so much. I am not sure if we can help however you can email me all of the project details here Randy@ExcelForFreelancers.com I will refer it to an experienced developer. Thank you for your Likes, Shares & Comments. It really helps.
Great video!! Really helpful. In the video you are using pdf forms. However, in my daily practice the sales invoices are pdf files (with text). They have a general lay-out. How can I retrieve certain fields?
Hi Joey and thanks for enjoying the video. There is a lot of 3rd party software on the market that will transfer data from pdf to excel. You can do a search on "PDF to Excel" .

Hello, good morning a few days ago I found your channel which I've found more than useful. Though I have a question my Excel knowledge is basic or even less than that; regardless of it I consider myself a bit of tech savvy. Your instructions seem clear to me though along the video I thought you were going to show how you make those macro buttons and the workbook to edit them. I would certainly appreciate very much if you can tell me or guide me to one of your videos on how to do this. I realize even though I understand almost everything you said you actually didn't explain how to create those macros and how to edit them. Please help! A newbie in distress here.
Hello Gustavo, thanks very much and I am really glad you like the video. I have another video which starts from the beginning which may be helpful here: th-cam.com/video/SnA3cct-2IM/w-d-xo.html
Good day sir Ive just found you channel, love it. I did not read all the reactions but can this be done with Adobe pdf tool as well? Thank you so much !
HI and thanks I believe it can be done, however try using easier tools to work with. Adobe is a big and sometimes difficult software at times. Thank you for your Likes, Shares & Comments. It really helps.
very nice will try this tomorrow thing is:my pdf folder that i want to extract from contains few kinds of forms (3 to 5 maybe) and i want only one kind . the kind i want contains gps coordinates so i guess i can add to the code a line to extract it only if it contains that header?? not sure how to do that. any tips or advice will be nice. thanks for a great video. subscribed. looks like lots if content to go through.
Sounds great and thanks you. What you can do is create 3 to 5 different macros, one for each PDF form and then assign a 'PDF Type' for each macro so that when you come across a specific form you can run the macro linked to the form.

Hi I haven't finished the video but I will. Thanks for sharing I hope I understand you right. My question which you can help me is that I have different forms in one folder for one business transaction or each customer. Can I extract data from these forms one time or should I follow you extracting data with similar type of form?
Hi Deither, thanks for your comment. I am glad you like the video. You can try it on a single form in your folder. Once the export runs properly you can then automate the process for each folder in the file, then run that macro anytime you have new files in the folder. I hope this helps.

Great Video, thanks. I really like your approach. However, after following all the steps from 8'32 to 8'52" (convert form to sheet), when I import my data source.csv in Excel, I only have one line which is the name of the original file. Any reason why? Thanks in advance for your guidance
Hi, Thanks for your comment. It would be difficult for us to help with that data source issue unless we see the specific bug you are running into.

Is this not possible in Adobe PDF ? Or is there setting needs to be enabled to look for the option convert to sheet which is available in Foxit PDF reader. Please help Further more my pdf's doesn't have any text box values so at the time of conversion the data is not getting captured in .csv file except the file name
Hi Fahad, for the data extraction the data would need to be in forms within the PDF (as opposed to just a scan) It should work for most PDF Readers including Adobe, Foxit and CutePDF. If you need to pull more information you may want to try some of the PDF To Excel 3rd party applications on the market. I hope this helps.

Hi! This is just amazing! I am working with some paper forms that are filled by hand (mostly checklist and a few comments in the instructions section). I was thinking about scanning all those forms and extract its information to a database like the one you have described in this video. Can you give me a recommendation? Thank you very much!
Hi thanks for scanned in forms you will want to check out 3rd party software "PDF to Excel" is a good term to search in Google. VBA cannot 'read' PDF's unless the form was filled out on a computer. Thanks so much.
Hi Abhishek, if the forms are fillable you can use the method I discuss in this video. If they are standard PDF pages you can use a host of 3rd party applications that do this. Just search PDF to Excel, to find some applications that could help you with this.
That is superb! But I can't export PDF data to excel data file by using foxit reader. When I try it shows only PDF file names in the Data source file. I think the problem on foxit reader software. I tried only using foxit reader along your program. In that time also I got the sale data source file with only PDF file names. Please help me to export all data to the Data source file.
It may depend on the type of PDF. I did this a long time ago so i am not sure about Foxit. Please post your issue, along with all of the screenshots in our Excel For Freelancers Facebook Group here: bit.ly/groupexcel We have 40,000 Members who would love to help you with this. Thanks so much.

Works perfectly except for one snag. Is there code we can add to skip empty fields without having shift everything over by 1 column for every blank field?
Yes sure you can run an If/Then test on empty fields so that there is an automated tab for those blank fields, or run additional vba code to compensate for the blank fields once the data has been extracted.

@@ExcelForFreelancers Actually I just realized it is not possible because the fault must be in Foxit Reader. It's Foxit that's not tabbing the information when a field is blank, so the info is thrown off into the wrong columns before your macro can do anything about it and there's no way for the Excel macro to know this has happened.
Yes...few open source software's are available on internet but due to client requirement we should not use any 3rd party software's or Unauthenticated websites for this. So that i am looking for a conventional way to do this.please assist me to do this.
HI i am unable to offer any one on one help however if you join and post a PAID JOB inside our Excel For Freelancers Facebook Group here: bit.ly/groupexcel, we have thousands of developers who would love to do this for you.

Hello I work at a medical clinic and my boss wants me to this exact thing but Im still confused about the browse button where you get the PDF folder on how you extra data from your computer and I feel like there's a lot of steps i missed out on since I am relatively new. Is there any video where you set up the table and macros before this one or any similar videos you can link me to?
Hi and thanks for your comment. These trainings are for intermediate and advanced VBA users, so you would want to make sure you have a good VBA foundation before attempting to learn this type of programming. I have a free VBA course taught by MVP Sumit Bansal on my site right here: www.excelforfreelancers.com/enroll-in-the-free-excel-vba-course-by-mvp-sumit-bansal-of-trumpexcel/
@@ExcelForFreelancers Yes I enrolled in that unfortunately I am on a strict time schedule as my boss wants it due by wednesday and as much as i want to watch all 36 lesson what lessons should i watch up to so i can learn the type of programming you did in the video and where i can browse macro and extended pdf macro
Your boss should pay for a developer to create this application or purchase a ready-made application. Those are the only two options if he needs it so quick. These methods take years to learn and prefect. Thanks for your comments.
Hi and thanks very much. This has the potential to do multiple files. Please make sure to watch the entire training and download the template. I hope this helps and thanks so much.
Hi Nga thanks so much for the great question. It is possible that if you use a scanned in PDF that you an fill it and then extract the data. I just put up a video a few days ago that will show you exactly how to automatically fill a pdf from a scanned in pdf here: th-cam.com/video/6fot1T_g1dM/w-d-xo.html
Would we be able to add on additional forms as they are submitted onto an existing Excel file? For example, if we wanted to do this to keep a log of applications submitted.
Hi Alvin, Thanks so much for your comment. Yes for sure VBA can keep track of a log of all submitted forms in a separate list. Each time data is extracted from a PDF, a record can be created based on the User, Date & Time, and Form being extracted. I hope this helps. Thanks so much.
Dear Team, I am using Acrobat Pro DC instead of Foxit Reader .Data is not getting extracted from PDF .Any suggestion pls..Just all PDF files open and VBA ends.

I'm looking for a free tool of some sort, that can simply unwrap and list all the files contained in a normal unencrypted PDF. The reason being I found a PDF (a less than 200 pages book with very few pics) that's more than 250MB's. There's definitely something else going on than just bad compression or formatting. I would like to just see a simple list of all the different files, fonts and whatever the PDF contains. Every single item, not just text or pics that has a lot of free apps and can also be done in Acrobat Reader.
HI and thanks very much for your comment. You can search for a 3rd party PDF tool to help you with this as I do not think Excel can compile this without a specific API geared to 'read' that data. I hope this helps and thanks.

Perhaps yes, however my goal is go teach people concepts and functions with Excel only, regardless of version they have, without addons or additional tools. Sometimes this means taking a few extra steps however this enables everyone who has any version of Excel to be able to implement these solutions.

Great video as always,but could you show a video at the end with whatever great task you have made working like it's the first time it is been run,hope this makes sense.
Will do and thanks so much Tony.
Thankyou for sharing such detailed video. its very helpful! i just have one qustion,
I need to do these steps with pdf files but the pdf are actually in multiple folders can we do that? (i need to extract a number from pdf from each of the folders, each folder is one individual so we have multiple folders.)
HI and thanks. I also got your email on this. It is certainly possible to cycle through subfolders on this as well
You can find more on that here: exceloffthegrid.com/vba-code-loop-files-folder-sub-folders/
I hope this helps and thanks so much.
Hi , Thank you so much sharing and making this great video. One quick question, can these macros be run using Adobe Reader software instead of Foxit ?? Probably I need to tweak the code here and there , to adjust the settings with Adobe. But it is at all possible , or we need to use Foxit .
Hi and thanks Anirban, I am glad you enjoyed the video. It is possible with Adobe however you would have to purchase their full Adobe Acrobat software to do that.
You can learn more about that here: th-cam.com/video/uc6palG76Y8/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for the Great Video! Just wondering if we can search and compare multiple pdf files from a folder for the same contents and extract to separate folders? Please help?
Hi and thanks so much. You may want to research 3rd party PDF tools that can do that. If you want to control the process with Excel, these tools would need to have a good API tool to do that. I hope this helps and thanks so much.
Thanks so much for the feedback. You know any 3 third tool online that can do that?
This is amazing, Randy! Thank you!
Thank you very much. I do appreciate that.
Sir, your video is great. Thankyou for sharing such detailed video.
I need to do these steps with pdf files and when I tried using it with Foxit it is not working. Please suggest me on how can I achieve the same results for PDF files
Hi thanks you can try Adobe or any other PDF reader to get it to work for you. I hope this helps and thanks.
Thank you so much for this video... It is extremely helpful. I am new to Macros, so I was wondering if there is any chance or do you have a video where you cover how to write the macro for the first part of the video? (the part where you click to browse). I know you mention it's a pretty straight forward, but I am actually writing the code like what you have on the video and it's not working. Therefore, I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you so much!
Hi Alejandra, thanks very much. If you are on a Mac, the code would be slightly different (learn more about that here: www.rondebruin.nl/mac/section3.htm)

Hi Randy,
Love the idea of extract data from a pdf, But is there also a way when a pdf contains images? to extract them as well... do you have any tutorial about that part or can you make one please :D . thank you
HI and thanks, it may be possible with an API so please check the Adobe API for this option. I hope this helps and thanks so much.
How do you do this? You are really a great teacher.
Thank you so very much, I really appreciate that
Another great little course, can we do it with Adobe Acrobat pro?
Hi and thanks yes this should work with Acrobat Pro as well. Thank you very much. I do appreciate that.
Sir, is having Foxit as default absolutely necessary? My current default is Adobe Acrobat Pro, which my job requires. Will this mean I have to switch back and both between Foxit and Adobe Acrobat Pro as default (Foxit when using this tool, Adobe Pro when not)?
Hi Demetrius, this system will work with Any PDF Reader, including Adobe. I just happen to really like the Foxit application. I hope this helps and thanks so much.
@@ExcelForFreelancers Thank you sir! I can hardly wait to give it a spin!
Hi sir, just wanted to know if we can run similar macro using adobe acrobat pro or standard instead of foxit reader??
Hi yes you should be able to do this with Acrobat Pro or Standard as well, however some of the shortcut keys and details may be slightly different. Please give it a try.
Thanks a ton for your kind response.. Surely I shall try
Hey, where you able to use it with Adobe Reader?
Great video as always 🙏! Question: the pdfs I’m extracting are protected how do I get in touch with you team for help on this?

Hello, good morning a few days ago I found your channel which I've found more than useful. Though I have a question my Excel knowledge is basic or even less than that; regardless of it I consider myself a bit of tech savvy. Your instructions seem clear to me though along the video I thought you were going to show how you make those macro buttons and the workbook to edit them. I would certainly appreciate very much if you can tell me or guide me to one of your videos on how to do this. I realize even though I understand almost everything you said you actually didn't explain how to create those macros and how to edit them. Please help! A newbie in distress here.
Hello Gustavo, thanks very much and I am really glad you like the video. I have another video which starts from the beginning which may be helpful here: th-cam.com/video/SnA3cct-2IM/w-d-xo.html
Best video I want same thing.
But can we use Acrobat Reader instead? I don't have foxit
HI and thanks very much. Yes you can use Acrobat reader. Thank you for your Likes, Shares & Comments. It really helps.
Good day sir
Ive just found you channel, love it.
I did not read all the reactions but can this be done with Adobe pdf tool as well?
Thank you so much !
HI and thanks I believe it can be done, however try using easier tools to work with. Adobe is a big and sometimes difficult software at times. Thank you for your Likes, Shares & Comments. It really helps.
very nice
will try this tomorrow
thing is:my pdf folder that i want to extract from contains few kinds of forms (3 to 5 maybe) and i want only one kind .
the kind i want contains gps coordinates so i guess i can add to the code a line to extract it only if it contains that header??
not sure how to do that.
any tips or advice will be nice.
thanks for a great video. subscribed. looks like lots if content to go through.
Sounds great and thanks you. What you can do is create 3 to 5 different macros, one for each PDF form and then assign a 'PDF Type' for each macro so that when you come across a specific form you can run the macro linked to the form.

Hi I haven't finished the video but I will. Thanks for sharing I hope I understand you right.
My question which you can help me is that I have different forms in one folder for one business transaction or each customer. Can I extract data from these forms one time or should I follow you extracting data with similar type of form?
Hi Deither, thanks for your comment. I am glad you like the video. You can try it on a single form in your folder. Once the export runs properly you can then automate the process for each folder in the file, then run that macro anytime you have new files in the folder. I hope this helps.

Great Video, thanks. I really like your approach. However, after following all the steps from 8'32 to 8'52" (convert form to sheet), when I import my data source.csv in Excel, I only have one line which is the name of the original file. Any reason why? Thanks in advance for your guidance

Is this not possible in Adobe PDF ? Or is there setting needs to be enabled to look for the option convert to sheet which is available in Foxit PDF reader. Please help
Further more my pdf's doesn't have any text box values so at the time of conversion the data is not getting captured in .csv file except the file name
Hi Fahad, for the data extraction the data would need to be in forms within the PDF (as opposed to just a scan) It should work for most PDF Readers including Adobe, Foxit and CutePDF. If you need to pull more information you may want to try some of the PDF To Excel 3rd party applications on the market. I hope this helps.

Hi! This is just amazing!
I am working with some paper forms that are filled by hand (mostly checklist and a few comments in the instructions section). I was thinking about scanning all those forms and extract its information to a database like the one you have described in this video. Can you give me a recommendation? Thank you very much!
Hi thanks for scanned in forms you will want to check out 3rd party software "PDF to Excel" is a good term to search in Google. VBA cannot 'read' PDF's unless the form was filled out on a computer. Thanks so much.
Hi Randy, How we can extract the data from Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader using VBA Programming??
Hi Abhishek, if the forms are fillable you can use the method I discuss in this video. If they are standard PDF pages you can use a host of 3rd party applications that do this. Just search PDF to Excel, to find some applications that could help you with this.
Hey, where you able to use it with Adobe Reader?
That is superb! But I can't export PDF data to excel data file by using foxit reader. When I try it shows only PDF file names in the Data source file. I think the problem on foxit reader software. I tried only using foxit reader along your program. In that time also I got the sale data source file with only PDF file names. Please help me to export all data to the Data source file.
It may depend on the type of PDF. I did this a long time ago so i am not sure about Foxit. Please post your issue, along with all of the screenshots in our Excel For Freelancers Facebook Group here: bit.ly/groupexcel

Hello sir, Can this tutorial be used for different pdf forms that have different attributes. Like multiple pdf fr multiple source eg: resumes?

Works perfectly except for one snag. Is there code we can add to skip empty fields without having shift everything over by 1 column for every blank field?
Yes sure you can run an If/Then test on empty fields so that there is an automated tab for those blank fields, or run additional vba code to compensate for the blank fields once the data has been extracted.

@@ExcelForFreelancers Actually I just realized it is not possible because the fault must be in Foxit Reader. It's Foxit that's not tabbing the information when a field is blank, so the info is thrown off into the wrong columns before your macro can do anything about it and there's no way for the Excel macro to know this has happened.
Please make a video on splitting the large pdf files by using vba macros
HI Mubarak thanks very much. I will do my best to get that done (there may be add-ins or utilities that already do that though)
Yes...few open source software's are available on internet but due to client requirement we should not use any 3rd party software's or Unauthenticated websites for this. So that i am looking for a conventional way to do this.please assist me to do this.

QUESTION?
Would this be a solution without having to buy a PDF reader for mac excel. Having issues with reading data from PDF to a Mac excel. The taking a picture of document update doesn't seem to be perfected didn't find that reliable. Needing for mac excel to be able to recognize a pdf file.
can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Hello I work at a medical clinic and my boss wants me to this exact thing but Im still confused about the browse button where you get the PDF folder on how you extra data from your computer and I feel like there's a lot of steps i missed out on since I am relatively new. Is there any video where you set up the table and macros before this one or any similar videos you can link me to?
Hi and thanks for your comment. These trainings are for intermediate and advanced VBA users, so you would want to make sure you have a good VBA foundation before attempting to learn this type of programming. I have a free VBA course taught by MVP Sumit Bansal on my site right here: www.excelforfreelancers.com/enroll-in-the-free-excel-vba-course-by-mvp-sumit-bansal-of-trumpexcel/
@@ExcelForFreelancers Yes I enrolled in that unfortunately I am on a strict time schedule as my boss wants it due by wednesday and as much as i want to watch all 36 lesson what lessons should i watch up to so i can learn the type of programming you did in the video and where i can browse macro and extended pdf macro
Your boss should pay for a developer to create this application or purchase a ready-made application. Those are the only two options if he needs it so quick. These methods take years to learn and prefect. Thanks for your comments.
does your code extract only 4 files or does it do multiple files?
Hi and thanks very much. This has the potential to do multiple files. Please make sure to watch the entire training and download the template. I hope this helps and thanks so much.
Dear Teacher, Is there any chance that we could do the same process but with scanned pdf?
Hi Nga thanks so much for the great question. It is possible that if you use a scanned in PDF that you an fill it and then extract the data. I just put up a video a few days ago that will show you exactly how to automatically fill a pdf from a scanned in pdf here: th-cam.com/video/6fot1T_g1dM/w-d-xo.html
Would we be able to add on additional forms as they are submitted onto an existing Excel file? For example, if we wanted to do this to keep a log of applications submitted.
Hi Alvin, Thanks so much for your comment. Yes for sure VBA can keep track of a log of all submitted forms in a separate list. Each time data is extracted from a PDF, a record can be created based on the User, Date & Time, and Form being extracted. I hope this helps. Thanks so much.
Dear Team, I am using Acrobat Pro DC instead of Foxit Reader .Data is not getting extracted from PDF .Any suggestion pls..Just all PDF files open and VBA ends.

Does Foxit read PDFs only for the premium version? Please suggest what can be done?
Thanks!
Hello Soumya, You would want to make sure the PDF's used contain fillable data that you can tab through. Both Foxit & Adobe have API's that you can buy to do this as well.

hi, does the pdf documents need to be scanned first before it can be extracted?
Hi Chang, no the pdf documents to not need to be scanned. They could be filled via fillable fields as well. Thanks so much.
I'm looking for a free tool of some sort, that can simply unwrap and list all the files contained in a normal unencrypted PDF. The reason being I found a PDF (a less than 200 pages book with very few pics) that's more than 250MB's. There's definitely something else going on than just bad compression or formatting. I would like to just see a simple list of all the different files, fonts and whatever the PDF contains. Every single item, not just text or pics that has a lot of free apps and can also be done in Acrobat Reader.
HI and thanks very much for your comment. You can search for a 3rd party PDF tool to help you with this as I do not think Excel can compile this without a specific API geared to 'read' that data. I hope this helps and thanks.

How would I go about to set it up to where excel would only run the command to OPEN the pdf, doesn't have to extract the data.

Hi his training is only for fillable PDF forms, not scanned files. You can try searching "PDF to Excel" for 3rd party paid products for scanned PDF's

Thanks sir.... I downloaded Foxit reader ... Now may I covert PDF or Image files directly to Excel or there is some specific sheet which you are telling to download from your site?????
Hi Shahoo, the video training covers extracting data from a PDF, (Not Converting PDF to Excel). Converting PDF to Excel is another requirement in which other software can do quite well. You can just do a google search for "Convert PDF to Excel" to find this software that can preform this action.
Bro help me. How to enable it.

Thank you very much @@ExcelForFreelancers , you are very kind just by replying. I will join the Facebook group, I happened to get around the problem but still my PDFs have lots of tables different rows and columns every one so it is hard to standardize or find a pattern where to pick the data from, but overall your video definitely put me in the right path.
Thank you again.
Yes sure I understand the issues when there is not a lot of uniformity among your PDF forms. Thanks so much for you kind words.
Wouldn't it be easier to use Power Query ?
Perhaps yes, however my goal is go teach people concepts and functions with Excel only, regardless of version they have, without addons or additional tools. Sometimes this means taking a few extra steps however this enables everyone who has any version of Excel to be able to implement these solutions.
Fantastic video, really helpful. But Could you also do the same , with pdf when is only text. I need to get some data for example from an invoice, the number etc.. but I do not know how to do it.. Anywhere Thanks a lot
Hi thanks for your message. There is already OCR software that can do this. Just search "OCR PDF To Excel Software"

foxit reader 9.5 & adobe reader 9 available on my pc .
You will want to associate PDF files with either Adobe or Foxit. You can do this through Windows or either of the two programs. Thanks very much.
Would it be possible to use PDFs on a cloud drive folder? Maybe something like OneDrive?
There should be no problem using pdf's on any drive, including a cloud drive, as long as they can be accessed by the application.

Podrías proporcionar los PDF de ejemplos que utilizaste -
You could provide the PDFs of examples that you used
That is a good idea. I was already thinking that. (I am putting a link in the description) but you can download it here: bit.ly/PDFSample_Dl
You may try this: Search for "employee data sample pdfs". You get a lot of search results to pick from!
Or you may search for this on youtube: "make your own employee data sample pdfs using EXCEL".
This might get you closer to your success: youtube search: "save excel sheet as pdf ".
Thanks dear
