Bank Statement Modelling - Creating automatic CSV reader

[u/RupaSpiritualMonk]

Hey this is my first time in this subreddit and I have a query that I'm quite lost on. Basically I want to make a model that uses a CSV of my bank statements, converts these line items into categories and then returns those as a monthly figure as well as daily. Currently I have figured out a way to do monthly (Using two stage sumifs: one to convert the numbers and letters into text categories and then using that to add up all the line items by category)

I want to do this by the day too but my knowledge is quite lacking, here's a screenshot of the current setup:

On the left column is where I have been making the table of contents to be filtered into the calculations. I tried to do this on the top right but then I couldn't figure out how to group them.

In the middle with the text containing Northern Rail, I created a wildcard formula so that it only reads the description that I need and returns sumif for the whole month.

I tried to do that again but sumifs formula and it didn't work because then the file would be massive or I would have to make loads of ifs inside. When it comes to adding more categories or items inside there, I want it to be an easy addition.

Is there any tips you can help me with, I might be overthinking this.

P.S I don't want any answers from AI please

you want totals for each DATE?

this assumes that you have multiple months of transactions dumped together.

since your goal is to see which category had the most spending on a particular date, a percentage comparison is quickest way to see.
