Excel Receipt Scanner FAQ
Common questions about scanning receipts and exporting the data to Excel spreadsheets.
What format does Receipt Reader AI export in?
Receipt Reader AI exports your scanned receipts as CSV files, which open natively in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and any other spreadsheet application. CSV is the universal format that works everywhere, and the structured columns make it ready for sorting, filtering, and building formulas immediately.
Can I customize which columns are exported?
Yes. The export includes all the data fields our AI extracts: date, vendor, amount, tax, category, payment method, and more. You can configure which columns appear in your export and in what order, so the CSV matches the layout of your existing spreadsheet exactly.
Does it work with Google Sheets too?
Absolutely. CSV files open directly in Google Sheets, so you can use Receipt Reader AI with either Excel or Google Sheets. We also offer a direct Google Sheets integration if you prefer your receipts to sync to a connected sheet automatically.
Can I export multiple receipts at once?
Yes. You can select any number of receipts and export them all in a single CSV file. Filter by date range, category, or vendor first, then export the filtered set. This is ideal for creating monthly expense reports or preparing data for tax filing.
Does it preserve the receipt images?
Every scanned receipt image is stored securely in your Receipt Reader AI account. The CSV export includes a link to each receipt image so you can reference the original source document directly from your spreadsheet. This creates a fully auditable trail from spreadsheet entry back to the actual receipt.
Can I build pivot tables from the exported data?
Yes. The exported data is structured with consistent columns and clean data types, which makes it perfect for pivot tables. Pivot by category to see spending by type, by vendor to see where your money goes, or by month to track expenses over time. No data cleaning required.
