Bank statement analysis for divorce proceedings
Hi All,
I have poste before and had some helpfull answers, but I would like to confirm i am going abou this the right way.
Basically, I have been a stay at home dad for several years, unfortunately my wife and I are now seperating.
There are the financials to sort out now.
I am looking to analyse past bank statements to show the breakdown of expenditure each month and what will be needed going forward.
So far I have set up a workssheet with added sheets for each monthly bank statement, I then allocate an expense type to each outgoing using dropdown menu.
On a summary sheet I have used SUMIF to total up each expense type in a column for each month (12 columns). These are then totalled up for the year.
I have all my bank staements in csv format. It is quite tedious as I have to open each statement, copy the sheet then paste into the main worksheet as a seperate sheet, add in the column for the expense type on that sheet with the drop down menu, allocate the expense then go to the summary sheet and add in the SUMIF calculation for that month.
I feel I am doing this a long way round...
The expenses I have are:
