This is a personal note, not an Excel tip. So grab a cup of coffee, relax and read on.
As I pack our bags and run the last checks, one thought keeps crossing my mind. ‘How impossible all this sounded just a few years ago’.
When I quit my well paying corporate job in April, 2010 to embark on this exciting journey of making you awesome in Excel, I never thought I would one day take my family and visit USA. I had bigger worries. I just became a dad to twins. Both Jo & I quit our jobs. We had no home, car or reasonable financial backup. Just a passion to do what I loved – share Excel knowledge, ideas with the world and somehow make a living out of it.
What followed was almost a dream journey, thanks to your generous support to Chandoo.org. You became a part of our little community, learned Excel thru our site, purchased our products, spread good word about us among your friends & colleagues.
Thank you

Dear Chandoo,
Thank you very much for this and it is very helpful.
However, all the Credit Card Statements are now password protected.
Please advise how can we have a workaround for that
Hello sir,
How to check two names are present in the same column ?
Thanks and Regards
Hi, Thank you for the great tip. One problem, when I click on get data >> from file, I don't see the PDF source option. How can I add it?
I tried to add it from Quick Access toolbar >>> Data Tab, but again the PDF option is not listed there.
I am using Office 365
Hi, Thank you for your video. I see you used the composite table, but I when I load my pdf, it does not load any composite table. It has 20 tables and 4 pages for one bank statement. I have about 30 bank statements that I want to combine. Your video would work except that I can't get the composite table and each of the tables I do get or the pages does not have all the info. what to do?
Dear Chandoo,
How do we select multiple amount of tables/pages in one PDF and repeat the same for rest of the PDF;s in the same folder and then extract that data only on power query.
Thank you

One bank statement takes up 20 tables and four pages in this document. I need to consolidate roughly thirty different bank statements that I have. Your video would be useful if I could only get the composite table, which I can't for some reason, and each of the tables or pages that I can get is missing some information.
