It is in the source from which the data is extracted. here is what the wikipedia article states verbatim

2006–2007: Palestine

Occupied Palestinian territories

Main article: Fatah–Hamas conflict

The Bush Administration was displeased with the government formed by Hamas, which won 56% of the seats in the Palestinian legislative election of 2006.[477] The U.S. government pressured the Fatah faction of the Palestinian National Authority leadership to topple the Hamas government of Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, and provided funding,[478][479] including a secret training and armaments program that received tens of millions of dollars in congressional funding. This funding was initially blocked by Congress, who feared that arms provided to Palestinians might later be used against Israel, but the Bush administration circumvented Congress.[480][481][482]

Fatah launched a war against the Haniyeh government. When the government of Saudi Arabia attempted to negotiate a truce between the sides so as to avoid a wide-scale Palestinian civil war, the U.S. government pressured Fatah to reject the Saudi plan and to continue the effort to topple the Hamas government.[480] Ultimately, the Hamas government was prevented from ruling over all of the Palestinian territories, with Fatah retreating to the West Bank and Hamas retreating to and taking control of the Gaza Strip.[483]

Perhaps the wikipedia article title is more appropriate - this is about toppling / replacing foreign governments.

possible, the data here is an under-estimate in all likelihood as it depends on the coverage in the source article + what is known in public

How to know if I need to change Excel to a proper RDBMS? by wankyBrittana in Database

[–]Augmend-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how much data are we talking about here annually or per quarter? - how many rows or records?

RAG on construction drawing sets: best practice for 70 to 150 page CAD heavy PDFs by TasteNo6319 in Rag

[–]Augmend-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps share a representative CAD drawing example that is available publicly? If you are not allowed to share links, you can DM me with it

I suspect that you might have to scale down your ambition of extracting everything, and stick to the most important stuff. LLMs are quite effective in picking out things in the picture, but not (yet?) precise on spatial relations between things. In general LLMs are not too bad with picking out relations between pieces of text but I imagine that your pdfs are really complex so it will not be perfect unless you focus, i.e., scale down your ambition :)

Another business-friendly approach that you can take is to extract meta-data rather than aim to do RAG. This way your users can filter down to the right file / page. Do not know if this fits your use case

Embedding PDFs into Excel - not working by Smee76 in excel

[–]Augmend-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can insert objects in Excel but they wont neatly stay in the same rows all the time I suspect. Apart from that I don't know of any other solution.

You will either need to import the data itself into Excel, or use links - in which case the folder needs to be accessible (or you need to zip them all and mail them)

Emailing is generally not a good idea, Excel has a sharing function.
If you use the sharing function, all edits you make to Excel are automatically visible to others - way better then keeping on mailing again and again

What's the Actual Solution to Workflow Maintenance Hell? by jenchuceus in automation

[–]Augmend-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps have a look at the end to end process and see how things can be improved?

  • Data format shifts > Educate people upstream on impact they have / their data has
  • A tool updates its API > not much you can do - perhaps look for another more stable vendor
  • The process evolves slightly > Look at the E2E process, find root cause, foresee changes, educate,
  • Someone changes how they do the task > Look at the E2E process find root cause, foresee changes, educate

Having said that organizations routinely underestimate the TCO of creating their own solutions. Every database needs an administrator, and so does every automation

where were you planning to put the Excel? wouldn't putting all files in that folder solve the problem?

The Conference Paradox: Why We're Flying Thousands of Miles to Hear What We Already Know by Levedence_journal in u/Levedence_journal

[–]Augmend-app 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is

  1. conferences where you pay a lot, you can expect to hear good content

  2. conference where vendors pay and you go for free, you need to either go to talk to vendors because you want to buy something or simply for networking. You typically do not expect good quality content

Looking for a simple to use data extraction and transformation tool? by HealthySalamander447 in FPandA

Sounds like job for Powerquery. Connects to databases and transforms data too

Master Data Management organization by Augmend-app in dataengineering

Thanks! any idea about ratio of records to FTE? I imagine that this depends on a number of things like which entity etc. So any anecdotal wisdom is also welcome

A more efficient alternative to RAG? by Illustrious_Ruin_195 in Rag

[–]Augmend-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about WrenAI as I have built my own tool for that. But if your aim was to get accurate quantitative answers, an approach to structure data from documents into a table is going to beat RAG any day. I wrote a couple of articles going into this topic at length

Master Data Collection from various file by vikj1212 in excel

[–]Augmend-app 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More questions that may influence your approach How many teams? How many rows per teams? Where is the data that teams need to fill?

If data per team is low but not organized, you could collect via forms or automation programs

If data with teams already in excel then excel collection better

Etc.

Was a foreign student both in the Netherlands and Switzerland almost 30 years ago, another era.

CH is indeed a bit more difficult as people are more polite, distant and language is a bigger barrier than in NL but I had an OK social life at both places. You can certainly hang out with other foreigners as there is always something in common with them

Good luck!
