Microsoft 365 Android users to upload data from image to Excel – Company announcement

Microsoft has now allowed a new feature – adding data to Excel directly from a photo. According to the official blog, for the Excel app, you can take a picture of a printed data tableon your Android device & automatically convert the picture into a fully editable table in Excel.

This new image recognition functionality eliminates the need for you to manually enter hardcopy data. This capability is starting to roll out for the Excel Android app with iOS support coming soon.
