How to copy a Word table into Excel
We can easily move data from a Word table into Excel by copying and
pasting the data from MS-Word. The data in each Word cell is copied
into individual Excel cells. If necessay, you can clean up the data so
that things like extra spaces between words are removed which can make
data analysis incorrect or difficult in the spreadsheet.
The Process:
- Select the data in Microsoft Word
- Click on the copy icon or press 'CTRL+C' from the
keyboard
- In the Microsoft Excel worksheet, select a cell,
click on
paste or press 'CTRL+V'
- At the bottom right of the pasted data you'll an icon
called 'paste options'. You can decide whether you wish to paste by
'Keep Source Formatting' or 'Match Destination Formatting'. We have
chosen the latter.
You can now perform your calculations and improve formatting where ever
possible and desirable!
The Excel training video takes you through every
step.
