If you look at your statement start date of July 1, 2020 and your statement end date of November 30 all of those transactions fall between those dates so they aren't "old stuff".

When you've completed and processed the reconciliation the cleared transactions will no longer show up.

We have been doing our bank reconciliation via excel...never done in the system but want to start using it. 

Then you will have to start at the beginning to clear all the transactions.

Sorry If I "test" with my February that I already reconciled , will it affect the current balances in our G/L?

I don't want to mess it up...the only thing I can think of is to do this for March. What is your suggestion?

My suggestion would be to do a reconciliation for each period that you've already done.  Go through and clear out everything that's cleared out in your excel documents each period so the beginning and ending balances match and then carry on from there.

When I started at my current job they hadn't done a reconciliation for several months so I had to go through and do them all.  It took time but was well worth it.

actually the start date shows July 1, 2003 not 2020
