How do I choose the correct 'Amount representation' for my file?

Last updated on Apr 29, 2026

Short Answer: Under '5. Amount representation' choose either 'Single signed amount column' or 'Separate credit and debit columns', then select the relevant 'Amount column' (e.g., 'Debit (USD)').

PreRequisites

  1. You know whether your file uses one signed amount column or separate credit/debit columns

  2. Your file is visible in 'Data preview (20 rows)'

Steps

  1. Open the 'Configure credit card statement' modal and locate '5. Amount representation'.
    You see two radio options and the 'Amount column' dropdown.

  2. Select:

  • 'Single signed amount column' if your file has one column with positive/negative values

  • 'Separate credit and debit columns' if your file has two columns (credit & debit)

The selected option defines how amounts are interpreted.

  1. If required, choose the correct 'Amount column' from the dropdown (e.g., 'Debit (USD)').
    The selected column is used for amount calculations.

  2. Check 'Formatted preview (first 5 rows)' to confirm values look correct, then click 'Save & apply'.
    Amounts are parsed correctly based on your selection.

Troubleshooting

  1. Amounts show incorrect signs or values.
    LikelyCause: Wrong amount representation or incorrect amount column selected.
    Action: Switch to the correct option and re-select the appropriate column, then verify again in the preview.

Note: Use the preview to validate that totals and signs match your source file before saving.
