Statements and transaction imports

Handle a transaction row with no date

Resolve missing source dates before the row can be imported.

Updated 2026-11-11

Missing date identifies a row whose mapped date field is blank. Check the column mapping first, then confirm whether the original source provides the date elsewhere.

  1. Look at Date as read in Preview and compare the row with the bank export.
  2. If the wrong column was mapped, select the actual date column and review all rows again.
  3. If the export itself omits the date, obtain complete source evidence or exclude the row until you can establish its date.

Some statement layouts print a date once for several following transactions. A working CSV needs an actual date value for each row. Carry a date forward only when the original layout clearly shows that those transactions share it.

Check for nontransaction rows

A blank-date row may be a subtotal, opening balance, note or separator copied with the table. Confirm what it represents before treating it as a missing transaction.

Do not fill every blank with the statement ending date or today’s date. That changes the timing of the activity. Retain the original file and document any evidence-based repair so later reviewers can understand how the final date was established.
