Data extraction or data mining?

Hiya everyone! I hope that I am posting this in the right forum!!

I have hundreds of excel spreadsheet that i used to make my invoices in.

Now that the business is growing I have to incorporate an accounting software and have decided on the FileMaker platform.

I do not want to have to manually type in all of the information from each excel document so is there a VBA script i can run or each invoice or is there a data extraction software that anyone can recommend that doe snot cost an arm and a leg.

The data is pretty much in the same location for the fields I plan of making part of the database. I have each invoice saved as a PDF as well...but I know this is not that īplace for that!

ANY advice would be mightily appreciated!

Regards,
