Why Excel imports of bank PDFs go wrong
When you copy a transaction table from a PDF into Excel — or use a generic PDF-to-Excel converter — three things usually break:
- Numbers parse wrong. A comma-decimal amount like
€1.234,56often ends up as 1,234.56, 1.23456, or text Excel refuses to sum. - Dates parse wrong. DD/MM/YYYY dates get re-read as MM/DD/YYYY for any day ≤ 12, so January 2nd becomes February 1st silently.
- Columns get split. Money-In and Money-Out columns from UK or Australian statements arrive as two separate Amount fields — your SUMIF formulas now point at the wrong column.
Our PDF to Excel converter solves all three before the file is written.
What the Excel file looks like
Every download is a two-sheet workbook:
- Summary. Bank, account, currency, period, opening balance, closing balance, reconciliation status, and any reconciliation notes. One row per attribute — easy to reference from formulas on the Transactions sheet.
- Transactions. One row per statement line, columns: #, Date (ISO), Description, Amount (signed decimal), Balance, Flagged, Flag reason. Header row, no merged cells, no hidden rows.
Opens cleanly in Excel for Windows/Mac, Numbers, LibreOffice Calc, and Google Sheets.

FAQ
- Is your PDF to Excel converter free?
- Yes. 7 pages per day, no signup. If you need more, paid plans start at €19/month (500 pages, rollover for 3 months).
- Will my Excel file have the correct number format?
- Yes. We emit decimal numbers (e.g. 1234.56) in the Amount column. Excel's locale settings then display them correctly whether you're on en-US, en-GB, de-DE, or anywhere else.
- What about UK banks with Money In / Money Out columns?
- We collapse them into a single signed Amount column on the Excel sheet — debits are negative, credits are positive. Your SUMIF, pivot tables, and reconciliations all work as expected.
- Can I convert scanned bank statements to Excel?
- Yes. Our pipeline detects scanned PDFs automatically and uses vision-based extraction. The same reconciliation step applies — you get a verified Excel file from a scan just like from a digital PDF.
- How is this different from Excel's built-in 'Get Data from PDF'?
- Excel's PDF feature extracts tables literally — it doesn't normalise dates, doesn't handle Money-In/Out columns, doesn't reconcile balances, and doesn't help with locale formatting. Our pipeline is specifically built for bank statements end-to-end.
- Does it preserve the running balance column?
- Yes. The Balance column is preserved per row, and our reconciler verifies the chain is intact before you download. Any row whose printed balance doesn't match the previous balance + amount is flagged.
