You're an excellent teacher and instructor. I can hardly wait for this functionality on my power query. Thanks for sharing

You are first person to show append power queries.

Hi Jon.. thanks for the preview into this new feature. Can't wait for it to be released to the general public. Thumbs up!!

Really you are one of the best instructors I have ever know them. All thanks to you dear for your amazing efforts. Hope this function to be released very soon

This is a game changer for me and I'd like to see more examples if possible. Thanks again!

Thanks, Jon, super content. I can't wait to try it when the From PDF feature is made available. Then I'd really be interested in your planned video on refreshing the data.

Is it possible to make a video tutorial to import multiple pdf's (all with the same structutre) but with multiple tables? Thanks for your help and excellent tutorails.

Your videos are always very useful and with clear explanation. Congratulation from Guinea-Bissau (África)

Excellent video, Jon, thanks for sharing. Can't wait for this functionality!

so thoroughly explained! thank you so much!

I truly don't understand the thumb-down votes for these videos. I suspect it's coming from competing KZread sites. Thank you Jon for taking the time to put together these tutorial videos for us. Please keep up the great work!!!

Excellent! Thanks Jon!

Excellent Mr. Jon ....Thanks

Thank you Jon! Does it work if let say the table in the PDF is in picture format? sometimes we can do copy data from pdf and paste it in excel but when the format is in picture, we cannot copy it and paste in excel, so I think it goes the same way if we use power query.

Dear Jon, Good Day, I'm a new subscriber, your explaining method is simple and extraordinary. Thanks for spreading your knowledge across the world. Looking fwd to see your more tutorials.

Great Tutorial,Looking Forward To Try PDF Imports When It Becomes Available...Thank You Jon :)

@Excel Campus - Jon great video - question, in my case, only my first table and remaining 21 tables dont have headers. Following your steps, the appended output table does not append the tables correctly. For example, table 1 has 10 columns (with headers), table 2 is then appended but at the bottom of the table starting at column 11, then table 3 starts at column 21, and so on. how do you tell excel to stack them vertically and make it recognize that you have the columns in each tables in same locations?

Thanks for the great video. Already thinking of reports to pull in once its public.

Thanks, Jon. Very clear tutorial. Quick question. Any inspiration to give for where Column 2 data in the first table is shown in Column 1 in the second table bc Column 1 data is blank in table 2. In fact table 2 columns all get shifted bc of two blank columns in table 2 i.e. Col 1 -> Blank Col 2-> Col 1 Col 3-> Col 2 Col 4-> Blank and Col 5-> Col 3. Thanks, Jon.

Is there any way to connect two or more data models from external files (including all relationship and measures ) in a new excel file?

append as new! thats what i needed. thank u.

Thanks, Jon, for this tutorial as it was a great help in understanding how to download PDF files using power query.

Hello Jon. Thanks for the tutorial. Which software do you use to zoom the window during your tutorials? I want to make tutorials on some other topic but also need that software. Thanks

I have a particularly difficult set of data - when power query imports it its not only splitting the data in the cells from the PDF table across columns but also across rows. and in some cases the cell data is split both ways - some of the column to the right is on the left and split across the row below. I've tried a number of the MVPs videos and its better but I'm still needing to go line by line. Thoughts?

I have a pdf with the same table formatting for numbers and text across 50 pages. I cannot get it to import. Excel keeps trying to connect to the file but never does. Are there restrictions to file size or complexity? Thank you.

You are awesome - Thank you!!!!

Do you know if the stand alone version of Office will ever be available for the PDF feature?

Thanks for explanation. I have a question. If i have same data template with different entry. Is there any method to use import all files in same table

Many thanks for the info. Good job

Your Videos are fantastic! Great new feature too!

Hi Jon, Thank you for making such informative videos on excel. I know that my question is not relevant to above but I am not able to see the formatting options button besides the cell. Ref video from Dec 14 2018. Can you please help. The version of excel I am using is Microsoft Excel for Mac Version 16.37. Waiting for your reply. Thank you so much.

Thanks Jon...excellent video. Just curious - what tool are you using to draw the outline around a mouse selection in your video. Great presentation tool.

Thank you very much ! This is, so far that i saw showing upto Append. My excel don't give composite table Option for all table together. This help a lot.

hi sir, thanks for the knowledge. really appreciate it! do you familiar with stock broker statement in pdf? mind if to a tutorial how to table it and find p/L and risk/potential ratio.. really appreciate it sir. thanks again.

Thank you Excellent

Fantastic!

I have a file that contains many tables (over 40+ pages) but each line may contain a variable number of entries, 2 to 4. Depending of the data present in the pdf file, some tables may show data in two columns but they may be column 1 and 3; others will show data in columns 1 and 4, and so on. All together, the data is a sparse matrix or hollow matrix. Is there a way to force Power Query to consider all tables the same way from the start, i.e. from where the data is showing up in the page?

Thanks John - cool feature, thanks for highlighting it and running through how to use it.

Hi, Professor, you have provide in a lot of effort for these videos, thank you, I have a question if we have for example in cell "a1" the number 10.00 m, how to have this number with the same format in cell "b1 "using a text function or some other function, thank you very much.😃👍

I’m curious to know if we can count how many tables there are in a pdf file? Currently working on automation project which needs a power query. Source file is a pdf. Please share if this is possible.

Hi Jon, great video. How do we do the same thing for multiple pdfs. Im not able to replicate this when extracting from a file with many pdfs and each pdf has different number of pages with same table columns. Do share if this is possible

Thank you for the video, but I really need help for this problem: I have multiple pdf files in a folder and each file has multiple pages containing tables I need, but every month , depending on the lenght of the data in the tables, the tables might be on a different page (pdf page number) than last month. Every table in each pdf is always formatted the same every month but each table in the pdf is different from the other. I need to create a separate query for each table (example if I have a total of 20 pdf tables, I need 20 queries to elaborate and import in 20 separate data models). How can I achieve that, making sure that if next month the pdf has more pages, it incluedes every table I need. Please help me.

Awesome!

I did the same thing but the pages are empty after transforming. I also did OCR but still the same. I can't figure out what did wrong.

Thank you. How are we going to do if we need all the tables? Thanks

Hi Lovely! When I tried to import the pdf file, power query says nothing available on the navigation tab although there are 3 pages of tables in my pdf invoice. Is there anyway we could upload the pdf file that bypasses this situation? I’m not sure it’s a pdf settings issue that stop us to upload the info into excel that makes it “unreadable” or something? I have no idea just thoughts. Please tell us if you found a way?

Hi Jon, Eddy here from the Netherlands, Can't wat to get the new functionality, so I can start using Power Query. Would like to send you a PDF file with the results of my Sun-power collectors which I have on my roof. Until Now I manualy copy the data into an excel sheet to follow the power consumption as well as the power I save using the electricity from my Sun-Cells.

Hi. Nice presentation, but why isn't Excel recognizing my decompressed pdf files? I split some bank statements by months, unzipped them on explorer, but Excel doesn't see them when I try to import - only sees the zipped folder. Thank you

Hi I'm having issues with bulk converting into excel using pdf from folder. I'm bringing in my bank statements for analysis each month. I have jan-aug ready in my folder to bulk install initially and then want to update sept nov dec etc on month by month basis from there on. Unfortunately some of the pdf files have differing numbers of column headers, depending on the file month. They range from 3 columns to 8 columns? extra columns occur randomly between promoted named headers. There should only be 6 promoted columns I want. I cant just remove the other columns because they contain my data. Its proving almost impossible to do a single query to automate the process. Any tips on this?

Hey Kurt, Great question! I don't believe the PDF feature supports password protected files yet. You would need to unprotect the file and save it without the password before importing. I tried to import a password protected PDF but got an error message. Hopefully they will make it possible to input the password in the future. Thanks again and have a nice day! 🙂

Would you show how to put a pdf bank statement into excel as searchable

It is NOT on MS Office Professional Plus 2016. Microsoft wants your subscription fees and it seems to roll the feature only to Office 365.

Thank you for your informative video! I recommend trying the VeryPDF PDF to Excel Converter. This Windows software automatically converts PDF files to Excel spreadsheets and can also combine multiple PDFs into a single Excel file without losing formatting.

I have Bank statement with 50 pages. The issue I am facing that in Power query editor there are separate 50 pages and I have to do all settings 1 by 1 on every page which is a lot time consuming. Is there any way I can make all the pages as 1 page and apply the settings?

Good for very simple pages - not for power users.

I dont have the "get data" option in my excel?

How to select all the pages of the pdf in powerquery?

I have a complex example that would be very useful. I have 4 years ov invoices from vendor in PDF's. I want to merge them into single XLS, then have a combined data set to see queries on the data. Like item searchable charges, taxes, etc.

great
