How to Fix Broken Emirates NBD Excel Statement Rows

🔴 The Problem: Emirates NBD PDF to Excel Creates Broken Rows

If you've ever tried to convert a Emirates NBD 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 Emirates NBD statements is: Arabic/English mixed descriptions creating duplicate rows, Hijri/Gregorian dual date columns, AED currency formatting with 3-decimal precision

This happens because Emirates NBD'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: 20/06/2026 SALARY TRANSFER AED 25,000.000
Row 2: (empty) Arabic: تحويل راتب
Row 3: (empty) Hijri: 04/12/1447

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

✅ After (LedgPDF Clean Output)

Row 1: 20/06/2026 | SALARY TRANSFER (Hijri: 04/12/1447) | AED 25,000.00

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Emirates NBD statements break when converted to Excel?

Emirates NBD statements use variable-length description fields that can span multiple lines. Generic converters don't understand the table structure and treat every line as a separate row.

Can I fix the broken rows manually?

Yes, but it's tedious. For a typical 5 pages Emirates NBD statement with 30-50 transactions, manual cleanup takes 25 minutes per statement. LedgPDF does it automatically.

Does this work with older Emirates NBD statement formats?

Yes. Our AI adapts to Emirates NBD's statement format regardless of when it was generated. It works with statements from any year.

What if my statement is scanned or a photo?

LedgPDF handles scanned PDFs too. Scanned pages cost 2 credits instead of 1 due to OCR processing, and take about 10-15 seconds per page.
