With the brand new Data from Picture feature in Excel for Mac it is possible to insert data from a clipping of a screen onto your clipboard or an image file downloaded from computers, or the camera of your iPhone camera. You don't have to type every single details. Excel will do it all for you!

  • Select Insert > Data From Picture > Picture From File.

  • Right-click on a cell, and then select the option to Scan documents (requires an iPhone that is configured to utilize Continuity Camera). Be sure to have great light and focus the information before pressing the button to capture the image. If you're happy then tap Save for sending the image to Excel.

Scenarios To Try

  • Scanning data from magazines or books. If you find intriguing data in a magazine or book and you want to utilize it in Excel it is an excellent method to avoid typing. If you're using an iPhone then right-click inside Excel in your Mac and choose Scan Documents. Your iPhone will turn on. After that, you can snap an image of the data and follow the instructions on screen to upload the data to Excel within a matter of minutes.
  • Screen capture of tables from a web site. If you've ever attempted the process of copying information from a web page and noticed that the format appears different when you paste it than it was on the site. Instead, try to take an image from the table (by pressing the keys SHIFT+CTRL+CMD+4 to your Mac) and then choose the option to insert data from a picture and then select Picture from Clipboard. Follow the steps on the screen, and you'll find exactly the information you're seeking.
  • Take a photo of printed data. Perhaps you'd like to transfer the data from your return to tax into Excel and only have printed copies. Take a photo of each, and then copy the images into the computer on your Mac (OneDrive is ideal in this regard). After that, click Insert and choose Data From Image > Picture from File. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to convert your image into data.
