Let's walk through <span class="mark-yellow">how to set up a flow that automatically reads health reports using OCR and add it to Microsoft Excel</span>.

⏱️ Setup time: 10 minutes

🔧 What You’ll Need

  • A free Yoom account
  • Access to Microsoft Excel

If you don’t have a Yoom account yet, register now from this registration form!

⚠️ Note: OCR (reading text) used in this Flowbot is only available in Yoom's certain plans. If you're using the Free plan, the Flowbot may face errors due to limited access. But don't worry - all plans have a 2-week free trial! You can try all features without restrictions. For more details on Yoom and its plans, visit our Yoom Help Center.

⚠️ Note: "Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)" includes both personal and business plans. If you’re using a personal plan, Yoom’s authentication may not work properly. We recommend using a Microsoft 365 Business account for a stable connection.

Step 1: Integrate Microsoft Excel with Yoom

After logging into Yoom, go to "My Apps" from the left side menu and click "+ Add".

Search for "Microsoft Excel" from the app list and select it.

Then, sign in with the account you want to use. 

Now your Excel is connected :) 

Step 2: Copy the Template

Click the "Try It" button to copy the pre-built template into your project.

Click "Try this template".

Click "OK" and assign a name to the Flowbot for recognition.

The template will be copied to your "My Project".

Step 3: Set Up Form Trigger Action

Let’s set up the trigger action. Click on the Form trigger item.

Create your form. 

You can preview the question form as you create it, allowing you to check and modify it in real time.

Define the title and description (optional).

Choose the question type, such as "Files" for file uploads.

Add additional question sections if you need multiple-choice or other items.

You can hide the Yoom logo at the bottom of the form page (optional).

You can edit the text displayed on the submit button, changing it from the default "Submit" to something more specific.

Add text above the submit button if needed.

Set the heading for the completion page, which by default is “Submission Complete”.

Optionally, add a description for the completion page.

You can choose whether to display or hide Yoom branding on the completion page.

Set access restrictions to limit the form to internal use only.

Decide whether the Flowbot should be activated only by the administrator or automatically upon form submission.

Review by checking the preview pages.

In the "Retrieved Values", set sample values for use in testing in the following steps.

For this example, we’ve selected a file titled "health-report" for testing.

Once all fields are set, click "Save."

Step 4: Set Up OCR Action

Next, we will set up to extract texts from images/PDFs. Click on the OCR action item. 

Select the action based on the file type relevant to your need.

Select the file type for testing.
Choose between "Use Retrieved Values" or "Upload File."
Since we want to use the file retrieved from the form, we will choose the "Use Retrieved Values" option.

📚 Reference: For more details on retrieved values and how to set them up, see the guide here.

Next, specify which data you want to extract from the health check form. You can add or remove items as needed. 

Then, select the AI to use. For this setup, we’ve chosen ChatGPT to process and extract the required data.

Enter the items specified in the "Items to Extract" into the Excel sheet where the data will be stored.

For setup instructions for Excel, please refer to this guide.

After entering the items, click "Test" to verify that the data is extracted correctly.

When "Test Successful" is displayed, check whether the data in the file has been retrieved correctly. Then click “Save”.

Step 5: Set Up Excel Action

Click on the Microsoft Excel action item. 

On the next screen, give an action a title (optional). Confirm the settings, and click “Next”.

Select File Storage Location:
Choose either OneDrive or SharePoint. For this setup, SharePoint is selected.

Choose File Location:
For SharePoint, select the Site ID. For OneDrive, it will display as Drive ID.

Specify Excel File:
Use the Item ID to specify the target Excel file.

Select Sheet:
Choose the Sheet Name where the data will be stored.

Define Table Range (Optional):
You can optionally specify the Table Range where data will be saved.

Once all settings are configured, click Next.

Map the Data:
Click on each item field and assign the corresponding data from the retrieved value to each field.

Test the Setup:
After setting the data, click Test to check if everything is configured correctly.

Once you confirm the test is successful, click "Save".

👏 Benefits and Examples of Integrating AI OCR with Microsoft Excel

Benefit 1: Streamlining Document Management Tasks

Integrating AI-powered OCR technology with Microsoft Excel can automate the manual entry of health checkup forms. For example, a company processing 100 health checkup forms per month could save over 8 hours of work time each month if each form required just 5 minutes of manual input. <span class="mark-yellow">This automation reduces the burden on teams, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks and increasing overall efficiency</span>.

Benefit 2: Reducing Human Error

Manual data entry is prone to errors and oversights. <span class="mark-yellow">AI OCR technology can automatically extract text and numbers from health checkup forms and input them directly into Microsoft Excel, preventing mistakes</span>. With OCR, you can ensure more reliable data and better health management, significantly improving the work efficiency of teams.

Benefit 3: Streamlining Diagnostic Data Analysis

Using AI OCR to automatically populate Microsoft Excel with data from health checkup forms streamlines the analysis process. For example, if your company manages health checkup data across multiple locations, automating the transfer of this information into Excel allows for quick search and analysis. <span class="mark-yellow">This helps the management team monitor health trends and make data-driven decisions quickly, ultimately improving overall health management</span>. 

📖 Summary

By using OCR technology with Microsoft Excel, you can automate the process of entering health data, reducing the risk of human error and saving valuable time. This integration ensures more accurate management of health data, making it easier to take timely and appropriate actions.
