# Bank statement to Google Sheets

Google Sheets imports CSV and Excel files directly. Upload your statement, keep CSV as the output, and the file arrives with a date, a description, and an amount per row — so the import lands in columns instead of in one cell.

## What the file contains

- A header row, then one row per transaction
- Date, description, and amount in their own comma-separated fields
- Quotes around any description containing a comma, so the columns hold
- Plain UTF-8 text, which Google Sheets imports without conversion

## Importing it into Google Sheets

In Google Sheets open File, then Import, then Upload, and pick the CSV. Sheets asks whether to replace the current sheet or add a new one, and whether to convert text to numbers and dates — “detect automatically” is usually the right answer.
The Excel output imports the same way if you would rather work in a formatted workbook; both files carry the same rows.

## How to convert

1. **Upload your statement** — Drop in the PDF or CSV you downloaded from your bank.
2. **Choose CSV** — CSV is preselected on this page and is what Sheets imports most reliably.
3. **Import it in Sheets** — File → Import → Upload, then choose the sheet to put it in.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I import a bank statement into Google Sheets?

Convert the statement to CSV here, then in Google Sheets use File → Import → Upload and pick the file. Sheets reads the header row and puts each transaction on its own row.

### Which file should I use, CSV or Excel?

CSV. It is plain text, so nothing depends on formatting surviving the round trip, and Sheets imports it without conversion. The .xlsx output works too.

### Can I convert a PDF bank statement?

Yes — PDF is the most common input. Upload it and the output is the same CSV.

### The import put everything in one column — why?

The delimiter was not detected. Re-import and choose Comma rather than “detect automatically”, and the columns will split.

### Is my statement kept after conversion?

No. The file is used only to produce your converted copy and is deleted right after.

### Do I need an account?

No. The converter works without signing up.
