Convert Bank Statement PDF to Excel questions

Which Excel version is supported?

Output is .xlsx (Office 2007+) and opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers and LibreOffice without conversion.

Does the Excel file contain formulas?

Amounts are stored as numbers, not formulas. A balance integrity check runs server-side before the file is generated, so on-sheet formulas aren't needed.

Can I customize the columns?

Pro and Business plans expose column mapping. The default schema is Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance, Category.

Are dates in Excel date format?

Yes — dates are written as native Excel dates so sorting and pivot tables work out of the box.

Does it merge multi-line transactions?

Yes. Bank-specific stitching rules merge wrapped narrations into a single Description cell per transaction.

How accurate is the conversion?

ClearlyLedger reports 99%+ row-level accuracy across the supported bank set, validated against balance integrity on every file.

Is signup required?

No — your first conversion runs without an account. Sign up free to unlock 5 pages per day.
