@Rafael_Soares To extract several tables of the same format with UiPath Document Understanding, you can use the “Table Recognition” feature. This feature allows you to extract tabular data from documents and includes several options for handling variations in the number of tables and number of rows in each table. Here are some options you can consider:

  1. Use the “Extract All” option: This option allows you to extract all tables that have the same format, regardless of the number of tables or rows in each table. This is useful when you know that the documents will always contain tables with the same format and you want to extract all of them.
  2. Use the “Extract by Index” option: This option allows you to extract a specific table by its index number, regardless of the number of tables or rows in each table. This is useful when you know the index number of the table that you want to extract and you want to extract only that table.
  3. Use the “Extract by Columns” option: This option allows you to extract tables based on the columns they contain, regardless of the number of tables or rows in each table. This is useful when you know the columns of the table that you want to extract and you want to extract tables that contain those columns.
  4. Use the “Extract by Rows” option: This option allows you to extract tables based on the rows they contain, regardless of the number of tables or rows in each table. This is useful when you know the rows of the table that you want to extract and you want to extract tables that contain those rows.
  5. Use the “Extract by Area” option: This option allows you to extract tables based on the area they occupy on the document, regardless of the number of tables or rows in each table. This is useful when you know the area of the table that you want to extract and you want to
