Getting Tables from a Document
Learn how to extract tables from documents using the get and table keywords.
Syntax
get the document's tables
If there are multiple sections in the document that resemble tables, the system will return them as a list. Below, we show you how to narrow down to a specific table.
Extracting a Specific Table
If a document contains multiple tables, you can specify which one to extract by referencing a column name:
get the document's tables whose columns contain "Column Name"
get the above as the items table
You can also use relative keywords like first, second, or last to target specific tables:
get the document's first table
get the document's third table
get the document's last table
For more precise filtering, you can use multiple column names:
get the document's table whose columns contain "Column1", "Column2", and "Column3"
Extracting Data With Directional Keywords
Directional keywords can be used with document extraction to pinpoint specific lines.
