Thank you for the turorial. i liked a lot. and it has so much learning. you explaination is very good drilling down into complexicity. you are a good teacher.
great job, as always. I learn from you a lot of new things all the time. i have been using PA Desktop for a truly long period of time, but I wasn't aware of 'region'.
I'm really impressed with PAD, but mostly with your tutorial. The step by step approach as really shown me how to look at this type of business problem. However, I did run into a couple of problems: Converting the datetime process continued to fail unless I changed my Windows region to English US. In the end I added another variable to hold the UK date format separate from the Data Table and used it to update the excel spreadsheet. Secondly, I continually got errors saving the spreadsheet. There is a documented problem with PAD and I added a .bat file to run in the End Processing with a command 'taskkill excel.exe /F' which forced Excel to end and stopped the error of it telling the spreadsheet was read only. But this aside, thank you for your great work. Now I'm going to tackle my own problem.

That was a great video, thank you so much. Any other material were dealing with multiples instances for the match expression. Let say, you have an unknown number of invoices in a single PDF, therefore you need to iterate through different match for the each Regexp for "Date"; "Account Name" and "Email"?

Just found a module 'Recognise entries in Text' which found dates in strings like "01 March 2023" and "Feb 02, 2021" and converted them into '01/03/2023 00:00:00' and '02/02/2021 00:00:00' respectfully.
Hey Nicklas. Thanks a lot 🙂 Can you try click on the settings and change the resolution to 1080p? If the problem persist, please send me an email on anders@andersjensen.org and I send you the code to the DataTable. Kind regards, Anders
let’s say you have 50-60 clients with invoices that have different layout, this method would require to adjust for each type of client/layout, correct?
I’m building something like this right now for our AP, and I’d rather not pay for AI or any other add-ons. What I’ve done is: 1) Power Automate CLOUD flow monitors my email and grabs out the PDFs and files them to the correct Vendor Number. This is pretty easy because all invoices for a vendor usually come from the same email address or have the same subject line. 2) In Power Automate Desktop, I used similar method as this video plus a “Switch” case with different sets of regex based on the Vendor Number which is already assigned. You’ll have to build in error handling if you are automating to this extent, so for one example, on several of my vendors I have it “qualify” the file by checking for the vendor’s logo using “Run Application” to open the PDF, then “If Image” to check for the Vendor logo. You could also qualify with regex, as many invoices have commonalities like the Vendor Name is always in a certain position, or the last line is some specific blurb from their billing department.

I'm stuck 54:00 converting the date string to DateTime, I'm choosing %RefEx[0][2]% for the input and the custom format of MMM d, yyyy (the input string looks like 'Sep 21, 2022') . I get an error "The provided tect can't be converted into a valid datetime". I've tried many different custom formats, MMM dd, yyyy mmm dd, yyyy etc and nothing works
I had the same issue and solved it by changing the format of the Date column in the Excel to Date format with Type '*14/03/2012' with my Locale (location) country. Then, there would be no need to custom the date format because it will be written in the proper format.
17:55 it never works, I don't know why :/ %RegEx[RowNumber]['Pattern']% the error is : "Variable 'RegEx[RowNumber] doesn't have a property 'Pattern'. The format should be : %Datatable[RowIndex][ColumnIndex]% %Datatable[RowIndex]['ColumnName']% For example, %RegEx[2][0]% %RegEx[2]['Pattern']%

Very good video instruction. Wondering why date is populating Contoso with May 23, 2023 and not 5/23/2023?

Great job, Pete. I still prefer RegEx due to its flexibility, but both solutions are great. Kind regards, Anders
Hi Anders
Great video but can you write the regex in the comments, it´s hard to see in the video?

Exactly. RegEx is next to none for structured data. For unstructured data AI is our friend: ruclips.net/user/livetmxvLAT3C7s 🙂
