I will clean and format excel spreadsheets and CSV data
Excel and CSV data cleaning
About this Gig
Messy product or stock spreadsheet? I will clean and organise your Excel or CSV file so it is easier to use.
Depending on your package, I can:
- Remove duplicates using your agreed rule
- Trim unwanted spaces and tidy headers
- Standardise text, numbers and dates
- Flag missing or inconsistent values
- Organise columns and improve readability
You receive a cleaned file and clear notes on what changed. I work from a copy, check the output against your instructions and flag uncertain values instead of guessing.
Packages cover one CSV or simple Excel worksheet, up to 20 columns. Choose 100, 500 or 1500 input rows. Formula repairs, macros, dashboards, web research and multiple sheets need a separate quote.
Please confirm the date format and duplicate rule. Send a small non-sensitive sample before ordering if your file has formulas or unusual formatting. Do not upload confidential, health, financial-account or other sensitive personal data.
I may use scripts and AI-assisted tools, with checks against the agreed rules. If you require a particular working method, please message before ordering.
FAQ
What files can I send?
CSV or a simple XLSX workbook with one worksheet. Please send a non-sensitive sample first if you have formulas, merged cells or unusual formatting. I will confirm whether it fits the package.
How will you decide which rows are duplicates?
You specify whether duplicates mean identical rows or matching values in named columns. Conflicting records are flagged unless you give a clear rule for keeping one.
Will you fill in missing information?
I flag missing values in Standard and Premium. I do not invent missing information or research it online under these packages.
How do you handle dates?
State the source format, such as DD/MM/YYYY, and your preferred output format. Ambiguous dates are flagged when the source format is unknown.
Will my original file be changed?
I work from a copy and return a separate cleaned file. Please keep your own original backup.
What does a revision cover?
A revision covers adjustments within the agreed instructions and original file. A new dataset, additional rows or a different task needs a separate agreement.
Do you use AI or automation?
I may use scripts and AI-assisted tools and check the output against agreed rules. Tell me before ordering if you need a particular method. Do not send sensitive or confidential information.
Can you repair formulas or build a dashboard?
Those services are outside these packages. Message with a non-sensitive sample and your requirements so feasibility and price can be checked before an order is accepted.
