Use the Text to Table tool

Alfa’s Text to Table tool helps you turn any piece of arbitrary text into a neatly organized and customizable table. This can be used for an array of cases including extracting lists of stocks from documents or extracting and processing numerical data.

To use the Text to Table tool, you’ll need to directly ask Alfa to convert a text or group of texts into a table. Alternatively, you can search for the text to table tool using the Text to Table Chip suggestion.


Tip: For the best possible results, include the list of texts you wish to turn into a table, a table description and a table schema.
