Extracting payments and receipts from Bank downloads
Permalink Closed

Hi

 

Has anyone got an easy way to separate payments and receipts from a Bank account transactions download ?

I have the downloaded transactions in CSV form, and would like to separate payments from receipts.

Is there a quick way of doing this other than copying the sheet and then deleting one set of transactions ?

 

Eunice

Change banks from the Mickey Mouse one that dumps data in one column!

Or try the excel 'if' function to populate pluses in one column and minuses in another.

Thanks Joanne,

It's my client's bank statement, so no option to change, but I'd hardly call Nat West a Mickey Mouse bank!

I will try the IF function, hadn't though of that, thanks!

I always get it in two columns from NatWest! Although I dont go for csv format so that might have something to do with it.

What is it you are trying to do - as in, I mean, why do you need it in two columns? Is it just so its easier to see? If so - what about conditional formatting?

Having glanced at this thread just before I happened to need to log in to a Natwest account, I downloaded a CSV 'bank statement' out of curiosity - there were debit and credit columns, so payments and receipts were already separated as I'd expect.

I'm therefore a little confused by what the OP was trying to achieve - what was the purpose of the CSV download, and why did you want the payments and receipts separated? (And in what way - did you want them in separate files, for example?)
