01

Excel & VBA Automation

Example: Fuel Card Invoice Reconciliation & Payroll Deduction

Turn raw operational data into structured, payroll-ready outputs.

A company provides fuel cards to employees with an agreed staff discount. Each month, the supplier provides a detailed invoice in .txt format containing all fuel card transactions.

Instead of manually reviewing hundreds of lines, VBA can automate the full process:

  • Import TXT Invoice
  • Analyse & Clean Data
  • Keep Required Fields
  • Summarise Charges by Employee
  • Apply / Verify Discount
  • Reconcile with Payroll Data
  • Flag Differences
  • Generate Payroll CSV

How it works

  1. 01

    Import Raw Data

    Supplier .txt invoice imported directly into Excel.

  2. 02

    Analyse with VBA

    VBA reads the file, removes unnecessary information and structures the relevant transaction data.

  3. 03

    Summarise Employee Charges

    Transactions are grouped by employee/fuel card using automated calculations or Pivot Tables.

  4. 04

    Reconcile Against Payroll Data

    Employee IDs, names and deduction amounts are compared with the payroll master data.

  5. 05

    Identify Exceptions

    Missing employees • unmatched cards • duplicate transactions • unexpected amounts • reconciliation differences.

  6. 06

    Create Payroll Import File

    A clean .csv file is generated in the exact structure required for payroll deductions.
