bankstatementparser-writer-xlsx 0.0.10

Excel (.xlsx) writer for bankstatementparser-parsed bank statements.

bankstatementparser-writer-xlsx: Excel writer for parsed bank statements

An Excel .xlsx writer for data parsed by bankstatementparser — turn parsed transactions (a pandas DataFrame, a list of Transaction objects, or a list of plain dicts) into a polished workbook that accountants, auditors, and reconciliation macros can open directly.

Latest release: v0.0.10 — single write_xlsx(data, path, ...) function, 100% line + branch coverage, 100% docstring coverage, mypy --strict clean.

Overview

bankstatementparser-writer-xlsx is a small, focused companion to the bankstatementparser library. It does one thing well: given already-parsed bank-statement records, write a clean Excel workbook with a bold header row, one row per transaction, auto-sized columns, and an optional second Summary sheet.

The package consumes parsed data — it does not read PDFs, CSVs, or XML itself. Parsing (and the security surface that comes with untrusted input) lives upstream in the bankstatementparser core.

Install

bankstatementparser-writer-xlsx runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows and requires Python 3.10+. It pulls in bankstatementparser, openpyxl, and pandas automatically.

pip install bankstatementparser-writer-xlsx

Quick start

from bankstatementparser import CsvStatementParser
from bankstatementparser_writer_xlsx import write_xlsx

parser = CsvStatementParser("statement.csv")
df = parser.parse()                      # a pandas DataFrame
write_xlsx(df, "statement.xlsx")         # one polished workbook

That's an Excel workbook ready for your accountant. Add a summary sheet in one extra argument:

from bankstatementparser import CsvStatementParser
from bankstatementparser_writer_xlsx import write_xlsx

parser = CsvStatementParser("statement.csv")
df = parser.parse()
write_xlsx(df, "statement.xlsx", summary=parser.get_summary())

Input shapes

write_xlsx(data, path, *, sheet_name="Transactions", summary=None) accepts three input shapes and normalises each to a flat table:

Input	Column order
pandas.DataFrame (from a parser's .parse())	the DataFrame's own column order
list[bankstatementparser.Transaction]	the stable Transaction field order
list[dict]	the union of keys, in first-seen order

A header row (bold) is written to the sheet_name sheet, followed by one row per record. Columns are auto-sized to their widest cell (capped so wide descriptions don't run off-screen).

Empty input is accepted: an empty list writes an empty sheet (no header), while an empty DataFrame that still carries column labels writes a header-only sheet.

Value coercion

Spreadsheet cells can't hold arbitrary Python objects, so the writer coerces the rich types the parser emits:

Python type	Written as
decimal.Decimal	float (Excel has no decimal type; floats aggregate natively)
datetime.date / datetime.datetime	native Excel date cell (unchanged)
str, int, float, bool, None	unchanged
anything else	str(value)

The summary sheet

If you pass summary= a mapping (for example a parser's get_summary() result), the writer adds a second sheet titled Summary with a bold Key / Value header and one row per item:

from decimal import Decimal

from bankstatementparser_writer_xlsx import write_xlsx

transactions = [
    {"date": "2026-06-01", "description": "Salary", "amount": Decimal("3000.00")},
    {"date": "2026-06-03", "description": "Coffee Shop", "amount": Decimal("-4.20")},
]

write_xlsx(
    transactions,
    "out.xlsx",
    summary={
        "account_id": "DE89370400440532013000",
        "transaction_count": 128,
        "total_amount": Decimal("12045.67"),
        "currency": "EUR",
    },
)

Examples

Five runnable examples live in examples/ and are exercised in CI on every commit. Together they cover every supported input shape and option of write_xlsx:

• 01_write_dataframe.py — write a pandas DataFrame to a single sheet.
• 02_write_transactions.py — write a list of Transaction objects in stable field order.
• 03_write_dicts.py — write a list of plain dict records (union of keys).
• 04_write_with_summary.py — write a DataFrame plus a second Summary sheet via summary=.
• 05_custom_sheet_name.py — rename the transactions sheet with sheet_name=.

When not to use this package

• You need a custom sheet layout. The single-sheet (+ optional Summary) structure is intentionally simple. Compose your own openpyxl workbook if you need pivot-ready, multi-sheet layouts.
• You need .xls (legacy binary). openpyxl writes .xlsx only; convert downstream if you must.
• You need encrypted output. Out of scope; encrypt the produced .xlsx downstream with a tool like msoffcrypto-tool.
• You want to read Excel. This package is a writer.

Development

git clone https://github.com/sebastienrousseau/bankstatementparser-writer-xlsx
cd bankstatementparser-writer-xlsx
poetry env use python3.12
poetry install
poetry run pytest        # 100% line + branch coverage gate
poetry run ruff check bankstatementparser_writer_xlsx tests
poetry run mypy bankstatementparser_writer_xlsx
poetry run interrogate -c pyproject.toml bankstatementparser_writer_xlsx

Security

bankstatementparser-writer-xlsx consumes already-parsed data, not raw statement files — the PDF/CSV/XML parsing surface lives upstream in the bankstatementparser core. Reporting practice, supported versions, and supply-chain posture are documented in SECURITY.md.
