Table data extraction to Excel

This example uses Textractor to convert an image to a Microsoft Office Excel file that can be further processed manually.

Installation

To begin, install the amazon-textract-textractor package using pip.

pip install amazon-textract-textractor

There are various sets of dependencies available to tailor your installation to your use case. The base package will have sensible default, but you may want to install the PDF extra dependencies if your workflow uses PDFs with pip install amazon-textract-textractor[pdfium]. You can read more on extra dependencies in the documentation

Calling Textract

[1]:

import os
from PIL import Image
from textractor import Textractor
from textractor.visualizers.entitylist import EntityList
from textractor.data.constants import TextractFeatures, Direction, DirectionalFinderType

[18]:

image = Image.open("../../../tests/fixtures/amzn_q2.png")
image

[18]:

../_images/notebooks_table_data_to_various_formats_2_0.png

[19]:

extractor = Textractor(profile_name="default")

document = extractor.analyze_document(
    file_source=image,
    features=[TextractFeatures.TABLES],
    save_image=True
)

[20]:

document

[20]:

This document holds the following data:
Pages - 1
Words - 564
Lines - 318
Key-values - 0
Checkboxes - 0
Tables - 1
Queries - 0
Signatures - 0
Identity Documents - 0
Expense Documents - 0

As expected, Textract identified the table. Let’s see how it looks.

[21]:

table = EntityList(document.tables[0])
document.tables[0].visualize()

[21]:

../_images/notebooks_table_data_to_various_formats_6_0.png

Now let’s export it to Excel.

[6]:

table[0].to_excel(filepath="out.xlsx")

If you open “out.xlsx” in Microsoft Office Excel you should see the table formatted with the the merged cells preserved.

[7]:

Image.open("imgs/excel.png")
