Word Read Tables

Word Read Tables

Type: word-read-tables  ·  Package: Word Activities v1.0.0  ·  Output: List<DataTable>

Reads all tables in a Word document and returns them as a list of DataTables (one for each table in the document). Useful for extracting tabular data from documents: a price table, a list, an annex.

How it works

Detects the tables in the document and converts each one into a DataTable. By default it treats the first row of each table as headers (hasHeader). Accepts session or path — see the two modes.

Required parameters

Ninguno — pero debes indicar session o path.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
session	session	Word Open session (instead of path).
path	expression	Route to .docx (fast mode).
hasHeader	boolean	The first row of each table is the headers. By default true.

Output

Returns a List of DataTable (one per table in the document).

Example

Process the first table of the document:

Word Read Tables   path = = asset("anexo.docx")   → output: tablas
If   condition = = count(tablas) > 0
 └─ then:
      Set Variable   name = primera   value = = first(tablas)
      Log   message = = "Filas: " + rowCount(primera)
