Tables are one of the most common ways data is organized on documents. However, targeting the data inside them presents its own set of challenges. A table’s structure can range from simple and straightforward to more complex (and even confounding). Different organizations may organize the same data differently, creating different tables for what, essentially, is the same data.

This course aims to educate users on the different methods available in Grooper to extract data from tables on a document. Students will gain a practical understanding of how to build tabular extraction in Grooper, using documents from the Oil and Gas industry, government forms, and invoices. Furthermore, this course will educate users why one may be more beneficial over another and how to use tools available throughout Grooper to get the most out of tabular extraction.
