How to Reconcile Bank Statements in Excel
The hardest part of reconciliation is usually getting the statement into an analyzable table. Once transactions are in a clean table, filtering, matching, and finding differences is far faster.
Quick answer
Move the statement (PDF/image) into Excel with the bank statement flow; get transaction date, description, amount, and balance columns, then reconcile in the table.
Reconciliation steps
- Sort transactions by date and amount.
- Mark the ones matching your records.
- Filter unmatched rows (differences) separately.
If you need CSV
To push reconciliation data into another system, use the PDF to CSV converter.
Frequently asked questions
Do scanned statements work?
