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.
