If the running balance on your Edekabank statement does not add up row by row, that is exactly the kind of mismatch Convert·Into is built to catch rather than pass through silently. Convert·Into processes the statement by reading every value on the page and immediately checking the integrity of the data. As each transaction row is extracted, the running balance column is recalculated from the first line to the last, and the final computed figure is compared against the statement’s own printed closing balance. If the two numbers match, the extraction is structurally sound. Where a figure has been misread, perhaps a 3 mistaken for an 8, the mismatch is flagged on that specific row. The rest of the file remains usable, and you can correct the single item without redoing the whole conversion.
Whichever order your Edekabank statement prints its columns in, each one still has to land in the right place once it reaches a spreadsheet. The engine then organises the extracted data for export. It identifies the columns that are already present in the statement table, such as the date, the transaction description, the amount, and the running balance. You can map these fields directly into the output’s corresponding columns, confirming that debits and credits land in separate fields or a single signed-amount column depending on your ledger’s requirements. The mapping step gives you control over the column order, so the exported file arrives structured the way your accounting package expects it.
Should a description on your Edekabank statement break across multiple lines of the printed page, that line break is not the same thing as a new transaction. Long transaction descriptions that wrap across several lines inside a table cell are also handled during extraction. Where the bank’s print layout breaks a single narrative into two or three visual rows, the engine recognises the continuation and recombines the text into one consistent record. The original line spacing is removed, and the full description sits cleanly in its designated column, ready to be categorised or matched to a chart of accounts.
