Summary

Stuck with complex data in Word documents and need to analyze information but sick of manually copying and pasting tables into Excel spreadsheets? Fortunately, converting a Word document to Excel is fairly straightforward due to Excel belonging to the same Microsoft product suite as Word. There are native features for these conversions, and using Python can also automate conversion from Word to Excel, especially for documents with tables. Leveraging cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4o can also convert Word documents to Excel, but requires precise prompts and may need multiple attempts to get it right. Intelligent Document Processing tools (IDP) offer a solution by detecting and extracting specific data points from your documents, auto-detecting tables, and streamlining workflows.
