Good moring guys Is there a way to copy a .jpg file to Excel so I can use it in Excel? I use a paper named Barrons that has data that I want to use
in a ss. I download the paper to my computer but when I try to do a copy and paste or Prt Scr I get a requester stating that the data is copyrighted and I am not allowed to copy it. I can make a copy of it by using my printer. I have done a scan of the copy but it comes out as a picture or a jpg file. Is there a way to copy the data into Excel so I can use the data?
The data in Barrons is in columns so if I could put the data in Excel in columns that would be great. Again thanks for any help you can give me.
I hate it when I reach a dead end.

The upload of the file failed. Your screen did not give a reason.

You use Excels Web Query to import data tables, Excel will put the data in separate columns for you!
