Do you need to check the cells Excel's photo import doesn't flag?
Before using a photographed stock sheet to place an order, I'd check the imported quantities against the item names—not just clear the highlighted cells. Microsoft’s existing Data from Picture guide tells you to review and correct the results before inserting them. Office Watch's older, 2024 test found mistakes in cells that weren't flagged for review, including a split column heading. That test doesn't establish today's error rate, but it gives a concrete reason not to treat an unmarked cell as verified. For a small stock table, keep the photo beside the sheet and compare every item and quantity before ordering. Check missing or duplicated rows, too. A matching grand total is useful, but it wouldn't catch two items whose quantities had been swapped. That's a hypothetical failure, not one reported in these sources. I'd judge the time saving when the table is checked and ready to use, not when the numbers first appear. Retyping avoided is still useful even when review remains. Has photo import made this chore shorter for you, including the checking?
