RAG-Anything: An Open-Source Multimodal RAG Framework

Anthropic just dropped a Claude update and I'm honestly pretty excited about it 👀 Claude can now create actual files, vs just creating artifacts. This means, excel spreadsheets, documents, PowerPoint decks, PDFs. This is great for business owners who spend hours every week on stuff like: - Turning messy sales data into something that actually makes sense - Building financial models from scratch (when you're not even sure you're doing it right) - Converting meeting notes into proper presentations for clients - Organizing receipts and invoices into spreadsheets Now you can literally just describe what you need and get back a working file. Just treat Claude like your junior employee who might need a review when they turn it in. ➡️ Here's what you can do this week: Pick ONE recurring task that eats up your time (maybe monthly reporting or client proposals). If you have Claude access, enable the file creation feature and test it on that task. If you don't have access yet, start documenting which manual processes are slowing you down. Write them down. When this rolls out wider, you'll know exactly where to start. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/g9Fek_UZ #SmallBusiness #AI #Productivity

Text to Columns is useful! But only when the text in the cells follows the same structure. If you try to use Text to Columns to split names, you can run into problems. Sometimes a surname contains more than one name, and then Text to Columns will split the name into multiple columns instead of just two (first name and last name). So, we need to approach this differently. How? With very simple formulas: TEXTBEFORE and TEXTAFTER. Just select the cell, use the space as the delimiter, and you’re done. #Excel #Exceltip

A multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline can be built over PDFs using ColQwen2, which embeds PDF pages as images without requiring OCR or layout detection. These embeddings are stored in a Weaviate vector database, and text queries are embedded similarly with ColQwen2 to retrieve relevant pages, while Qwen2.5-VL generates answers based on both text and visual content.

Day 10 – Wrap Text in a Cell When working in Excel, long text can overflow into adjacent cells or get cut off, making your sheet look messy or unreadable. That’s where Wrap Text becomes essential. Importance: - Readability: Ensures all content in a cell is visible without changing column width. - Professional layout: Keeps your data organized and visually clean. - Space saving: You don’t have to widen columns just to fit long text. How to Use Wrap Text: 1. Select the cell or range where the content is too long. 2. Go to Home > Wrap Text on the ribbon. 3. Excel will automatically adjust row height so all text becomes visible within the cell. Example Use Case: - If you’re entering remarks like “Payment pending for Q2 due to incomplete paperwork,” wrap text helps display it neatly inside the same cell. - Great for forms, notes, survey responses, or descriptions. Pro Tip: Combine with Merge Cells for centered headers or notes that span across multiple columns. #dde_excel #ExcelTips #SpreadsheetSkills #OfficeProductivity #WrapText #ExcelFormatting

🚀 Mastering Excel Logical Functions (IF, AND, OR) I recently created a practical Excel project where I built a simple student result checker using logical functions. Here’s how it works: ✅ IF + AND → Check if a student passed all 3 subjects ✅ IF + OR + AND → Check if a student passed at least 2 subjects ✅ IF + OR → Check if a student passed at least 1 subject This small project demonstrates how Excel can go beyond simple calculations — it can also be used for decision-making, grading, and performance evaluation. 💡 Key takeaway: Logical functions make Excel dynamic, flexible, and powerful for solving real-life problems. #Excel #DataAnalysis #IFANDOR #LearningByDoing #ProblemSolving
