A lot of document developers (especially business owners) fall into circumstances where large amounts of simple, tedious work must be carried out. This includes a wide range of potential problems but one of the most prevalent is the need to scour Excel spreadsheets for images or pictures. This is very common when large spreadsheets of information need to be examined for particular information or pictures. Many contractors or businesses store certain records of images or pictures as Excel spreadsheets, and while inspecting a spreadsheet for images or pictures is an easy task, the repetition and monotony can quickly wear on an individual.
One technique of separating the images from within an Excel file is to save the Excel file in an alternate format. This may be achieved by first opening the Excel file and then choosing the ‘File' tab on the ribbon bar across the top of the window. Then, click the ‘Save As' button on the right side of the window. From here, an output location must be chosen. After the location is selected, a new window will be visable. There is a drop-down menu titled ‘Save as type'. Here it is possible to chose to save the file as a web page (.html). The file will be stored in the output location and can be displayed as a folder. By browsing through the folder you can find the pictures that were saved within the Excel spreadsheet.
An additional method of picture removal can be done through general programming. As an Excel file is actually a compressed file, it can be uncompressed to reveal its contents. This can be achieved by first launching the command prompt in Windows. This is carried out by going to the ‘Start' button in Windows and entering ‘Command Prompt' into the Search field. After the prompt window appears, enter ‘unzip file.xlsx‘. The extracted information will then show up in a folder on the computer.
Fortunately, a quick visit to http://www.hothotsoftware.com/excel-extract-images-and-extract-pictures-from-multiple-spreadsheets_software/ to search ‘Extract Images and Pictures from Excel Spreadsheets' will bring up a great piece of software for extracting pictures and images from Excel spreadsheets. This software works completely within a single window, eliminating any chance of getting confused or lost while using the software. This window is divided into both a top and bottom section. The top section is to input any Excel files that you wish to search through. These files may be added in individually through the ‘Add File(s)' button or the program can search for a specific file type within a folder. This means that the program can hunt through your ‘My Documents' folder to find any Excel files that may be saved there. The bottom section of the window contains the ‘Extract E-mails Addresses!' button to launch the program.
