Did you know that the excel app has powers that not even the desktop version has? (Update 20/03/2023: Now on desktop version too!)
You can take a photo of some data and the Excel app will turn it into a spreadsheet.
It doesn’t always get it 100% correct, but depending on the layout of the information you are capturing it does a pretty good job.
To use: Open the Excel app on your phone or tablet, and go to a blank sheet, or the workbook you want to enter the data in.
If the bottom of the screen is showing the different tabs, click the icon in the left hand corner.
Then, you should see this. (Make sure you are in an empty cell).
Click the icon with the picture of the camera, and Excel will access your camera and you can take a picture of the data or want to enter, or use a picture you have previously taken. You then get the opportunity to review and make corrections if necessary before converting the picture to a spreadsheet.
