Importing a PDF Bank Statement into MATLAB and splitting transactions correctly
Hi, my bank statement comes as a PDF, but I cannot for the life of me import it into Excel correctly in order to do some analysis. I decided to try MATLAB and see if it imports the data as intended.
The PDF starts with a bunch of text that isn’t useful, such as name and address etc. I want to start the import at the point in the document where the transactions begin.
The columns split into [Trans Data], [Post Date], [Description], [Amount]
Then each line below that has data corresponding to that data point.
The columns are only split by a space, but a data entry may also have spaces inside it, so spaces cannot be used to determine where one cell finishes and the next one starts.
Any ideas?
Bonus if I can export the final result as an Excel file. If not I can keep it in MATLABHi, my bank statement comes as a PDF, but I cannot for the life of me import it into Excel correctly in order to do some analysis. I decided to try MATLAB and see if it imports the data as intended.
