Bank statement to Excel

Review statement rows before exporting to Excel

Start with a text-based bank statement. Choose the decimal convention and the amount layout that matches the document: signed amounts or separate debit and credit columns. The tool extracts candidate dated rows; it does not know that every line is a transaction or that every transaction was found. Wrapped descriptions and unusual bank layouts can require manual correction.

Compare the candidate rows with the original page, correct dates and amounts, exclude headings, and add missing transactions. Check the unmatched text for omissions. An optional opening balance helps check consecutive balances, but agreement does not prove complete extraction. Generate the spreadsheet preview and approve it only after checking the selected rows. Further edits require a fresh preview and approval.

If a page has no usable text, use the offered local OCR recovery and return to the statement workflow. OCR can misread digits, signs, and dates. Review those rows against the image before exporting. Excel stores dates as text to avoid silently changing their meaning; the exported amounts use a decimal point.

Questions about bank statement to excel

Does this support every bank statement?

No. It supports candidate dated rows in text-based PDFs, with review for layout and decimal conventions. There is no universal bank support or accounting reconciliation guarantee.

Can I use a scanned statement?

The extraction step needs text. Local OCR recovery is available for textless pages, but recognition errors require careful review against the original scan.

Can I export CSV as well as Excel?

Yes. After reviewing and approving the spreadsheet preview, download Excel or CSV containing the selected rows. Missing values stay blank and invalid amounts remain safe text.

What are the input limits?

Use one PDF up to 50 MB and 100 pages. The workflow supports up to 2,000 transaction rows.
