Every week you download the same export (orders, transactions, inventory, leads) and spend an hour fixing it. I'll build a spreadsheet that does it for you: paste the new export into the Raw tab and get a clean table.


What it fixes:

- Dates and amounts stored as text ("$1,234.50", "(12.00)", "2026/06/02 5:53 AM") become real dates and numbers

- Extra spaces, odd capitals, split or combined fields

- Categories from keywords you can edit yourself ("kettle" = Equipment)

- Test, refunded or blank rows filtered out, duplicates removed


Every sheet has a Checks tab: rows in, rows dropped and why, rows kept, and totals that must balance. If something doesn't add up, it tells you instead of hiding it.


Excel: formulas only, no macros (Excel 2019 or Microsoft 365). Google Sheets: a small script that only touches that one spreadsheet, run from a menu.


You don't need to send real data. A sample with made-up values in the same layout is enough, because the automation runs in your own spreadsheet.


AI-assisted build, tested on your sample before delivery. I don't log into your accounts or connect other systems.
