Less work. More done.

PDF Data Extraction

In this example we have the emails of applicants stored in PDFs. However, it would be helpful to have this data in a spreadsheet. Using a custom Python program we can open each file, extract the email address, and output to a spreadsheet or CSV all with one click! 

Excel Macro

Here we have a Excel sheet of orders. Every existing order that has a quantity less than 10 needs a minimum quantity fee of $5.00. We can use an Excel macro to add this fee everywhere it is required. Once again, hours of sorting through data reduced to one click!

Excel Custom Function

In this example we also have a list of orders. The unit price of each item varies depending on the quantity ordered. The unit prices should be:

$100 for 9 or less

$90 for 10 to 99

$80 for 100 to 499 

$70 for 500 or more

I can make a custom Excel function that does this. The name of the function could be something like “Qty _Discount” and we can use it similarly to the “SUM” or “Vlookup” functions. No more searching for non-existent or difficult to use functions!
