Frequently asked questions
Does Affinda integrate with Microsoft Excel?
Yes. Affinda's integration with Microsoft Excel connects your document processing directly to your spreadsheet workflows. It automatically extracts, validates and exports data from invoices, expense reports, timesheets and financial statements straight into Excel. With Affinda, you can import data faster, eliminate manual entry and keep complete control over your business information through a single, connected workflow.
How does the Affinda-Microsoft Excel integration work?
Affinda processes documents from any source - email, direct upload or API - and automatically extracts structured data like supplier names, invoice numbers, dates, amounts, line items and employee details.
Once extracted and validated, this data is exported directly into Excel as spreadsheet-ready rows and columns. Whether you're processing invoices, timesheets, expense reports or financial statements, the data arrives formatted and ready to analyze or import into your other systems.
You can also set up custom validation rules, define specific column formats or apply business logic - all in plain language - so every export meets your exact requirements before it reaches your spreadsheet.

Affinda processes any document type and sends the extracted data straight to Microsoft Excel, including:

It handles both digital files and scanned documents with equal ease, using advanced OCR and AI to achieve 99%+ accuracy across multiple languages and layouts.

For example, you can set rules to:

These checks ensure your Excel data is accurate, consistent and ready to use the moment it arrives.
