How to Fix Broken Bank of Ireland Excel Statement Rows

🔴 The Problem: Bank of Ireland PDF to Excel Creates Broken Rows

If you've ever tried to convert a Bank of Ireland bank statement PDF to Excel using a free online converter, you know the frustration. The converted spreadsheet looks nothing like the original PDF. Rows are split, descriptions are scattered across multiple cells, and the data is unusable for accounting.

The specific issue with Bank of Ireland statements is: Euro SEPA format with IBAN numbers displayed across multiple rows, Irish date format (DD/MM/YYYY) causing Excel auto-format issues

This happens because Bank of Ireland's PDF format uses variable-length description fields that can wrap across multiple lines. Generic PDF converters treat each line as a separate row, completely breaking the transaction structure.

What It Looks Like: Before vs After

❌ Before (Broken Generic Converter Output)

Row 1: 10/06/2026 SEPA TRANSFER €750.00
Row 2: (empty) IBAN: IE29BOFI90001712345678
Row 3: (empty) BIC: BOFIIE2DXXX

Notice how the description is split across multiple rows and the running balance is mixed in.

✅ After (LedgPDF Clean Output)

Row 1: 10/06/2026 | SEPA TRANSFER IBAN: IE29BOFI90001712345678 BIC: BOFIIE2DXXX | -€750.00

All data is in a single row with the complete description merged together.
