I think we need a little more information about your process -

You say you're saving the bank statement to a file in .xls format. Then
when you open that file later, that data should still be there.

I'm actually thinking that you may be well served with a simple manual
process:
get your latest statement information into an Excel workbook,
open your 'permanent' record workbook, then copy from the latest information
and use Paste Special with the [Values] option chosen to paste the latest
information at the end of previous information in the 'permanent' workbook.

to keep appending the file that the banking statement is saved to if you have
any ideas on that.
