Position Mapper guide

Last updated 10 November 2026

Position Mapper reads the position files your banks send, in each bank's own layout and codes, and writes the deals in one standard format: as sheets in an Excel workbook, or as CSV or JSON files.

It runs on your own computer, from Excel: Map and Load Positions on the GIAnalyzer tab. It reads a folder you choose. It doesn't connect to your banks, and your files don't leave your computer.

What you need

• GIAnalyzer installed in desktop Excel for Windows: Position Mapper runs from the GIAnalyzer tab. See Installing GIAnalyzer.
• 64-bit Windows. GIAnalyzer's functions also run on 32-bit Windows; Position Mapper doesn't.
• A licence that includes Position Mapper. It is licensed separately: a Full GIAnalyzer licence doesn't include it. Without it, the Map and Load Positions button is greyed out. See Activating your licence.

A run, step by step

1. Put your banks' position files for one date into one folder.
2. Open your mapper workbook in Excel.
3. Click Map and Load Positions and choose the folder.
4. In the Bank Adaptor window, choose Excel, CSV or JSON, and click Start.
5. When it finishes, close the window. The position sheets now hold the deals from those files.

In this guide

• The mapper workbook: the workbook Position Mapper writes into, and the checks before each run.
• Preparing the files: which files it reads, and how to put them together.
• Running Position Mapper: the run window and the three output formats.
• The position sheets: what each sheet holds, and what a new run does to it.
• Hiding client details: output you can share without the account numbers and client names.
• Logs and troubleshooting.

Position Mapper reads the files of the banks it has been set up for. To find out whether your banks' files are supported, or to see it map files like yours, ask for a demonstration.
