Querying Excel data in SharePoint – Best Approach?

Question

Hi everyone,We need our Moveworks AI Assistant to query tabular data stored in Excel files within SharePoint Online.Since native SharePoint Indexed Search skips Excel cell data, what is the best way to handle this?Has anyone successfully implemented either approach, or found a better workaround? Would love to hear your thoughts!Thanks,Tanishq Choudhary

Hi ​@Tanishq Choudhary!Excel data is skipped during Knowledge Ingestion due to it being unstructured and difficult to parse. What type of questions would you be hoping to support if being able to interact with Excel data and what structure do the files follow? It is usually not recommend to bring this content into Moveworks due to its lack of structure, but I am curious what type of experience you are expecting.Best,Ryan
