Statements and transaction imports

Start an import from copied spreadsheet rows

Read pasted transaction data without uploading a separate file.

Updated 2026-11-11

Paste rows lets you import a copied transaction table. Select the financial account first, then paste the rows and use Read rows to prepare the mapping and preview.

  1. Copy the intended transaction range from the source spreadsheet, including its header when available.
  2. Choose Paste rows in the import source and paste into Rows.
  3. Read the rows, then confirm Separator, Date format, header setting and amount layout before checking against the books.

The pasted source has a size limit of 5 MB. Split larger exports into clear periods and keep a record of which range belongs to each saved batch.

Check copied values

A spreadsheet can display rounded amounts or shortened dates. Compare the pasted text and preview with the original bank values, particularly near month boundaries and for cents.

Pasted rows are labeled as such in history, so use the account, creation date and saved results to identify the batch later. If import stops, reopen that batch and resume where offered. Pasting the same range again can create an unnecessary second batch and another set of duplicate decisions.
