My current issue is a file a vendor is sending splits each page into its own table, so I have a file with 79 tables, and Power query wants to put each on on its own worksheet in excel. I just want it all in 1 single table. Haven't figured that out yet.
Spent a big portion of the weekend learning Power Automate Desktop Flows and RegEx to try and scrape data from PDF's. The solution is this! If only I found this 24h ago :-)
Nice. Could you do a tutorial where a PowerQuery extracts the entirety of a PDF of varying page length into Excel dynamically? In other words, without specifying each time how many pages the file has. It's a nice functionality to embed into a VBA subroutine.
Thank you. I loaded table 1 and table 2. How do I remove header/titles row from table 2 so that the header doesn’t repeat when both tables are combined in one tab? There is no delete row option after the tables are uploaded. I can only hide or group rows
Love your tutorials! Question though... my pdf files have multiple tables over about 3 pages and it doesnt allow to select multiple... how do you get all of them to import into power query?
Hi Chester, Sad news a recent Windows update has removed the from PDF option in Get data. This has affected Excels on 2019 & O365. 😢 Do you know if there is a way around this?

When you want to load multiples pdf files and each PDF has mutiples tables, it does not work. Power Query seem to load only 1 table from each PDF
having the same issue. Were you able to find a solution?
Brilliant! Saved me time not having to spin my wheels for hours.
Thanks Chester, this video has been really useful.

This is great. I have a quick question, what about if the table is located on different pages of the PDF?

Pdf option is not available
Has the from folder moved? I don't see it as an option under get data
Also after uploaded the tables, the numbers are not adding up. Please advise why

It's still there for me on O365 / Win 10
