How to extract data from prefilled template

Saravanan13

Hi all,

I am looking to extract data from merged excel template in to a simple format as shown in the output file. I tried multiple ways but without any luck as I was able to extract only what was there in the left side.

Can anyone assist.

Hi @Saravanan13 ,

 

You can extract data from kind of "dirty" sheets by specifying columns and rows with Select Records and Select tools.

Then you can transform the table with Cross Tab and/or Transpose tools, when necessary.

 

Here is a sample workflow to show you sample patterns of above process.

You should be able to apply one of the patterns to the rest of the rows.

 

Good luck.
