Scan from a document to excel with separate cells
I have data sheets with a format that I need transfered into excel. What is
the best step by step process to copy the data into it individual cells. If I copy and paste from pdf version all the data just goes into one cell. Also is there a way to use a command to replace certain characters with something else (ex: (...) to (0)? thanks |
