Extracting specific table from a document using AI module

Question

A document, especially an earnings report, will have different tables in the document, e.g. https://report.adidas-group.com/2023/en/_assets/downloads/cons-financial-statements-adidas-ar23.pdf. I am only interested in a specific table, "Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity", on page 193-194.

The Layout module in Document analysis is great at finding tables in a document but it returns all tables in a document. Is there a way to configure this or use a different module to find a specific table?

Hi @Bijaya Rai,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

In Azure AI Document Intelligence, you can indeed limit the analysis to specific pages of a document, which can help in isolating a particular table like the "Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity" on pages 193-194.

To extract the table from the specified pages, follow these steps:

1. In the Analyze options, set the Page range to 193-194 (or the desired page range).
2. Run the analysis on the document.
3. Once the analysis is complete, go to the Content > Tables section. Only the tables from the specified page range will be extracted, allowing you to focus on the table you need.

This method ensures that only the relevant tables from the selected page range are analyzed and extracted, making it easier to isolate the specific table you are interested in without processing the entire document.

I hope this helps. In case you were expecting something different or need further clarification, feel free to let me know!
