I will clean and deduplicate your excel or CSV data with an audit report
CSV and Excel Data Cleaning
About this Gig
I will clean one flat Excel or CSV table using rules we agree before work starts.
Included:
- Trim selected text fields and standardize agreed labels
- Remove exact duplicate rows with a removal log
- Flag missing values, conflicting IDs and invalid formats
- Deliver XLSX, CSV, a change log and a short review report
Uncertain records are retained for review. I do not guess missing values or silently merge conflicting IDs. Text identifiers stay as text.
Basic: one UTF-8 CSV or one values-only XLSX sheet, up to 100 data rows, 20 columns and 10 MB. Two-day delivery after requirements are complete. One revision within the agreed rules.
Provide the file, desired rules and columns that must stay unchanged. Formula repair, macros, dashboards, scraping, enrichment and sensitive personal records are outside scope.
AI-assisted code may support the workflow. File processing follows explicit local rules and the output is checked. The portfolio example uses synthetic data.
FAQ
Will you fill missing values?
I flag them. I do not guess or invent data.
Will you preserve the original?
Yes. The source file stays unchanged. I deliver separate cleaned files and audit logs.
Can you merge conflicting IDs?
Basic retains and flags them. Merging requires explicit rules and a separate scope.
Will formulas and formatting be preserved?
This package accepts one flat values-only sheet. Formula repair, macros and original workbook styling are not included.
What does one revision cover?
One correction to the agreed cleanup rules on the same input. New data or new rules may need a new scope.
Is AI used?
AI-assisted code may support the work. File processing is local and rule-based, and outputs are checked.
