This repository holds a Python Notebook script, src/main.ipynb to convert bank statements into CSV files. To generate a CSV file for your statements, simply put your e-bank statements into the statements directory. You can find example templates of statements that have been used to test these scripts in the assets directory.
All statements that go into the statements directory must follow the following naming convention:
YYYY-MM.pdf
Once all the script finishes running within a notebook, a statement.csv file will be generated in the src directory. Your statement information would also all be saved into a dataframe variable df, which you can manipulate even after the run.
Unable to differentiate between withdrawal
Currently, both Deposit and Withdrawal amounts are combined under the same column: Amount, as there is currently no way for the current algorithm to differentiate between the two. This is due to the extraction process putting the values of a row all into one since the delineator between a deposit and withdraw is always a space, whereas a balance can always be identified as the last number next to another number or when the entry is the C/F BALANCE.
Furthermore, since multi-day transactions only show the balance at the end of the day instead of it being recalculated after each transaction, simply comparing the final end of day balance to the amount deposited/withdrawn will not work. A more advanced algorithm needs to be created to allow for the calculation of which amounts are supposed to be added/subtracted to get to the final value.
This repository will be open to any contributions that could get these scripts to overcome this limitation.
