Have it in downloaded (not scanned) PDF files? And PDF-to-Excel software should do it just ok. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Pro you can try a free online service like this https://smallpdf.com/pdf-to-excel or this https://www.pdftoexcelonline.com/en/
If you are not in a rush it may pay to wait until they publish their "Year End reports" which is either in avail excel or if not you can use the above method to convert just the one PDF

Random question, maybe this is the wrong thread. Does anyone know of a quick convenient way to get my last years worth of chase cc statements into excel?
You can download all your transactions as CSV from Chase.com

Where? I couldnt find that option. For credit cards too, or just bank statements?

Will most probably not give you clean data...
Best simple way to get PDF data into Excel is to highlight a section and right click and export as Excel... It's only one section at a time...

Small PDF messes it up. Its a chase credit card statement, so its not exactly in a table format. Tried downloading adobe, not working for some odd reason. Downloaded nitro, and it freezes when I try even 1 statement

The video is 45 min. I need to start from :00-45:00
IDK what :00-45:00 means.

If you mean negative time, i.e. negative 45 minutes:
  • Negative 45 seconds is -0.03
  • Excel doesn't default to allowing negative date-time, you have to follow the instructions here.
  • Format to whatever time format you like.

Check if its only 3 months at a time...

 I can definitely download from 1/1/2016-1/31/2016 for example.

Mine is a business account... Maybe it's a premium feature.
