Handling Unstructured Layouts
This workflow is capable of correctly parsing 'tricky' tables that lack row gridlines, contain missing cells, or feature complex nested column headers.
Processing Latency
For highly complex image structures, the generation time may be significant (e.g., over 4 minutes) as the model utilizes Python code execution to map the visual data.

Step by Step
Converting Complex Table Images to Excel
- Upload the image file containing the complex table (including nested columns or missing gridlines) to the chat interface.
- Type the command 'Turn this into a spreadsheet' into the text input field.
- Click the 'Generate' or 'Send' button to initiate the process.
- Wait for the AI to analyze the image (Note: The AI may execute Python code internally to scan the structure, which can take several minutes for complex images).
- Click the download link provided in the final response to save the generated Excel file (.xlsx) to your local device.
