PDF Bank Statement to Excel
Turn statement PDFs into Excel files with extracted transaction rows so you can filter, review, pivot, and share data quickly. One transaction per row, typed date cells, and numeric amounts ready for formulas.
How PDF to Excel conversion works
- Upload your statement PDF file.
- OCR extracts transaction lines, dates, and amounts.
- We normalize rows into a consistent column schema.
- Download your converted file as Excel (XLSX) or CSV.
What the Excel file looks like
One transaction per row. Dates are real Excel date values; amounts are numbers, not strings.
| A — date | B — transaction_type | C — description | D — paid_in | E — paid_out | F — balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04/03/2026 | credit | ACME Payroll | 1,850.00 | 3,245.18 | |
| 05/03/2026 | debit | Tesco Store 4521 | 76.42 | 3,168.76 | |
| 06/03/2026 | debit | Energy Supplier DD | 94.00 | 3,074.76 |
Why Excel instead of CSV?
- Review transactions visually before handing data to an accountant.
- Run SUMIF, pivot tables, and conditional formatting without import steps.
- Keep dates as real dates and amounts as real numbers — no text-to-column cleanup.
- Share a single file by email or Teams without CSV encoding pitfalls.
When CSV is better
- Importing into accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent).
- Feeding pipelines or scripts that parse UTF-8 text.
- Git diffs and version-controlled financial records.
Every conversion gives you both formats — pick whichever matches the downstream step.
Frequently asked questions
What format is the Excel export?
Native XLSX files, compatible with Excel 2010+, Google Sheets, Numbers, and LibreOffice Calc.
Are dates stored as real Excel date values?
Yes. Dates are typed date cells, not strings — you can sort, filter by month, and use DATE functions without reformatting.
Are amounts numbers or text?
Numbers, with two decimal places, so SUM, AVERAGE, and pivot tables work without cleanup. Currency symbols are applied via cell formatting, not stored in the value.
Can I also get CSV output?
Yes. Every conversion provides both CSV and Excel downloads.
