PDF bank statement to Excel

Turn a PDF bank statement into a proper Excel workbook

Skip manual retyping and fragile copy and paste. Tennanova converts statement transactions into typed spreadsheet cells with filters, frozen headers, a summary sheet, and visible balance checks.

  • Real Excel date cells
  • Numeric debit and credit values
  • Filters and frozen headers
  • Statement summary included
  • Files automatically deleted
  • CSV + Excel

An Excel export that is ready to work with

A useful workbook needs more than rows that look correct. Tennanova writes structured cell types and separates the transaction table from the extraction summary so you can analyse the data without rebuilding it first.

Spreadsheet-native values

Recognized dates are stored as dates and monetary fields are stored as numbers. You can apply formulas, sort by value, group by month, and build pivot tables using normal spreadsheet tools.

Practical workbook layout

The transactions sheet includes a styled header, filters, frozen rows, useful column widths, and review fields. The summary sheet records the institution, period, account details, totals, and reconciliation result when available.

Review before export

Preview the extracted rows in Tennanova before creating the workbook. Low-confidence or inconsistent rows are surfaced for attention, and supported values can be corrected before download.

Workflow

Create an Excel file without manual data entry

  1. 01

    Choose the original statement

    Use the PDF downloaded from your bank when possible. Clear digital statements produce better results than photos, screenshots, skewed scans, or documents that have been repeatedly compressed.

  2. 02

    Check rows and balances

    Compare the preview with the statement, inspect any flagged rows, and use the reconciliation result as an arithmetic check. Reconciliation supports review but does not replace it.

  3. 03

    Export the XLSX workbook

    Download the Excel file while the result is available. Use its typed values for analysis, categorisation, audit preparation, or mapping into your preferred accounting workflow.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Will the Excel file contain real numbers and dates?

Yes. Tennanova writes recognized dates as Excel date values and money fields as numeric cells. This allows sorting, filtering, formulas, pivots, and formatting without first repairing text-formatted columns.

What columns are included in the workbook?

The transaction sheet includes date, description, debit, credit, signed amount, balance, confidence, review status, and edit status where available. A separate summary records statement metadata and reconciliation figures.

Can I edit a transaction before downloading Excel?

Yes. You can review and edit supported transaction fields in the temporary result before export. Tennanova recalculates reconciliation after an edit so the final workbook reflects the reviewed data.

Can I use the Excel file for bookkeeping?

The workbook is designed to make review, categorisation, and import preparation easier. Bank layouts and extraction results vary, so you should verify the data and adapt it to the requirements of your accounting or bookkeeping software.

Do I need Microsoft Excel installed?

No. Tennanova creates an XLSX file in your browser. You can open it in Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet application that supports modern Excel workbooks.
