Solved Copy And Paste Bank Statement

  • 4

Hi i have just copied and pasted a years worth of bank statements into an excel spreadsheet but am unable to total any of the figures as they are not recognised as an excel format. I have tried all the various formatting options but to no avail. the only thing that works is to insert a new column and reimput all the figures!!! Your help would be greatly appreciated

  1. Since your having problems with your imported numbers, I would not be surprised if your Dates are also not Real Date, but Text that looks like Dates.

    A quick way to determine if you have Real Dates is to format the cell as Number.
    If it is a Real Date it will display as a 5 digit number.

    If your dates are Text, see here for how to convert to Real Dates:
