Revolut statement to Excel
Revolut's PDF export is the awkward one: two amount columns, merchant names carrying emoji, and relative dates on recent activity. The converter normalises all three so the sheet behaves like a normal ledger.
Column layout
The PDF export prints five columns with dates as DD MMM YYYY.
| Account type | Date column | Description column | Money out | Money in | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revolut PDF export | Date | Description | Money out | Money in | Balance |
Three Revolut specific issues
People usually hit these before they hit anything about Excel:
- Money out and Money in are separate columns, so they are merged into one signed amount.
- Merchant names contain emoji and unusual unicode, which breaks naive CSV readers — the export is written as UTF-8 with a byte order mark so Excel opens it correctly.
- Recent rows can print with a relative label instead of a full date, which is resolved against the statement period.
PDF export or CSV export?
If you have the choice, use the CSV from the app — it is already tabular and converts in seconds. Use the PDF path when the CSV is not available, for example on a joint account or a historical period that has been archived.
Questions
Does it handle Revolut Business statements?
Yes. Business statements use the same money in and money out structure, with additional counterparty detail in the description column that is preserved as-is.
What happens to the emoji in merchant names?
They are kept. The CSV is written with a UTF-8 byte order mark so Excel renders them instead of showing mojibake.
Can I get a category column?
Category assignment is part of the paid tier. The free converter gives you a clean date, description, signed amount and balance, which is what you need for a pivot table.
