We're a services company doing work in Iraq. Field teams send us daily reports with service data – things like nitrogen pressure readings, chemical volumes, job completion status.
Right now I'm manually copying this data from PDFs and emails into Excel. Takes hours every week.
I'm looking for a way to automate this. Maybe using Power Query or VBA to pull data from a shared folder or email attachment?
We use CS-Arabia for some of our field operations, and they send structured reports. If I can get those reports in CSV format, I could probably automate the import.
Has anyone set up something similar? Looking for practical advice on:
- Extracting data from PDFs to Excel
- Automating import from email attachments
- Power Query or VBA best practices for this
Any guidance would be appreciated.
