Balance Sheet From PDF to Excel

Annual reports and financial statements are published as PDF. To calculate ratios such as the equity ratio or current ratio, or to compare several years, the balance sheet has to be in Excel.

PDFConvertFast rebuilds the balance sheet lines as rows with the values in columns. It works with digital annual reports; scanned statements are not supported, because OCR is not available.

Structure of a balance sheet

  • Assets: non-current assets (property, equipment, intangibles) and current assets (inventory, receivables, cash)
  • Equity and liabilities: equity, provisions, long-term and short-term liabilities
  • Usually two value columns: current year and previous year
  • Subtotals and totals that must match on both sides

What to check after converting

Check that total assets equal total equity and liabilities after converting – that quickly shows whether a line is missing.

  • Amounts like 1,250,000 become numbers. Negative amounts written in brackets, e.g. (35,000), stay text – replace “(” with “-” and remove “)” to fix them.
  • Amounts in thousands (TEUR, in $000) keep that unit – note it in a header cell.
  • Indented sub-items become their own rows; don't add subtotals twice.
  • Statements laid out side by side (assets left, liabilities right) can land in more columns – rearrange them if needed.

Balance sheet to Excel – questions and answers

Why are some negative values text?

Values in brackets like (35,000) are kept as text. Replace the brackets with a minus sign to turn them into numbers.

Can I compare several years?

Yes. Most balance sheets show the current and previous year in two columns; convert older reports to add more years.

Does it work with scanned annual reports?

No. Scanned pages are images and OCR is not supported. Use the digital annual report PDF.

Is my financial data uploaded?

No. The balance sheet is converted in your browser and stays on your device.
