    Sorting & categorizing bank transactions csv - pivot

    Hi
    I d/L from my bank transactions in csv.
    I'll like to have it sorted in categories with totals in the same s/h if possible
    similar to the attached format.
    It would be handier if it was differed columns showing income & expenses.
    or similar to pass on to the accountant.
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    It's an irritation to the rest of us - the powers that be have known that it is not working for a very long time, but have failed to fix it. Sorry!

    Please explain the attachment: what do you get in the .csv file and how do you want it laying out? It's not clear.

    Re: Sorting & categorizing bank transactions csv - pivot

    Thanks Sandy
    Yes that is what I want but in 2 sections.
    1 for income (positive) say columns E-F-G
    1 for Expenses (negative) say columns I-J-K
    columns formatted as Date - Description - amount
    at the end of transaction columns Grand Totals (just as there are now)

    By the way how do you use it
    excuse my ignorance

    Re: Sorting & categorizing bank transactions csv - pivot

    Hi

    I would add an extra column.
    Head the columns Date, Amount, Source and Trans
    In the Trans column have a formula
    =IF(B2>0,"Inc","Exp")
    Then convert this into a Table, by placing your cursor in any cell and using Insert > Table > check the box my table has headers

    One of the great advantages of a table, is that it expands automatically as you add more rows, and any formulae get repeated to any added rows.
    Then each month, copy your three columns of data immediately below the last row of the existing table (ensuring that your data copied doesn't include any header),
    and the formulae will extend automatically.

    Then you can summarize with as Pivot Table, (it doesn't have to be on the same sheet as the data as I have shown in my example)
    There are many choices for layout of Pivot tables, and you couls alter to suit our requirement, but the attached is one view.

    For more information on Pivot Tables and how to use them there is a fabulous resource from Debra Dalgleish at

    Cool Re: Sorting & categorizing bank transactions csv - pivot

    You can do that like in post#8 or use PowerQuery (add-in for Ex2010) like here:

    Re: Sorting & categorizing bank transactions csv - pivot

    Thanks Roger
    I like the 2 worksheets method.
    excuse my ignorance but why is it necessary to duplicate the statement.
    Also the "Exp" column seems unnecessary since we know that -ve = Expences or
    If its positive then anything else is negative.

    Thanks Sandy
    The income is fine as is.
    I would like the expenses to be grouped with totals for each group.
    as in your first post.

    Cool Re: Sorting & categorizing bank transactions csv - pivot

    You mean like this?

    But you will need PowerPivot and DataModel (PowerPivot free add-in from MS for Ex2010)

    Cool Re: Sorting & categorizing bank transactions csv - pivot

    Or you can try this one: two pivot tables with the same source but different cache (and I think this is what you need)
