Photo of a table to Excel: check cells, then export

Photo → check the grid → fix cells → export Excel. Keep that order so the sheet stays editable.

Scanning a table into Excel fails most often when export happens before the grid is checked. This page is only the export path after a photo (or PDF) scan.

Steps

Capture the table — photo to Excel or PDF to Excel.
Edit the scanned grid — fix wrong cells before any file leaves the app.
Export to Excel (.xlsx). Open the sheet once on device or in Files to confirm columns.
Optional: share the file or keep browsing in Files.

Avoid

Exporting a flat image when you need editable cells.
Skipping the cell check on the first row of numbers.
Mixing photo and PDF workflows in the same pass.
