Now, copy data to Microsoft Excel by simply taking a picture

Data copying and entering will no longer be a nightmare as Microsoft has introduced a new feature for the app that will allow you to simply click and add data to an Excel sheet.

In order to add data to Excel directly from a photo, simply take a picture of the printed data table. The new image recognition functionality immediately converts the picture into a fully editable table in Excel.

The new capability will prove useful for those who often have to manually copy data from the physical sheets to digital sheets.

Microsoft is rolling out this ability for the Excel app on Android. iOS users will receive the update later.
