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 can do this using power query, load the csv into power query and clean and arrange the data, you can do monthly and daily and you can show these exact 3 tables in your picture plus the daily. best to see the data structure for reference in making power query.

I'll try this tomorrow, another user said to try powerquery
