I have an Excel workbook of roughly 50-500 rows that needs a thorough clean-up. The data are general in nature—not strictly financial, customer, or inventory—and I want every cell verified, corrected, and formatted so the sheet becomes reliable for analysis or reporting. The top priority is data cleaning: • identify and remove duplicates • resolve inconsistent capitalisation, number and date formats • fill or flag missing values where possible • trim extra spaces and eliminate hidden characters • ensure column types are consistent throughout When you return the file I expect it to be ready for immediate use, with a short summary of the actions you took and any rows that still require my review. I prefer someone who works comfortably with Excel functions such as Power Query, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, conditional formatting, and error-checking formulas, and who can turn this around quickly without compromising accuracy.

Your workbook will come back analysis-ready in the same three-part structure shown in your attachment: Cleaned Data, Summary, and Data Dictionary. The hidden risk is deleting legitimate repeats or corrupting IDs, phone numbers, and dates during “cleaning”; I preserve the raw sheet, keep identifiers as text, and reconcile row counts before and after. For ₹600 I cover one workbook with one primary table, up to 500 rows and 12 columns. I’ll standardize spaces, case, dates, and number types; remove only rule-confirmed duplicates; flag rather than guess missing or ambiguous values; and return: • original/raw backup • cleaned XLSX • QA summary plus rows needing review • one consolidated revision Relevant proof: my public Freelancer profile includes “Excel Cleanup | 2,455 Rows Retained,” an independent open-data case with source IDs and timestamps preserved: https://www.freelancer.com/u/BrocoDevServices Delivery is 1 day after I inspect the workbook, confirm the duplicate key/date convention, and the full ₹600 milestone is funded. This bid assumes a non-sensitive or anonymized file and excludes macros, protected files, external connections, multiple unrelated tables, or more than 500 rows/12 columns; I will re-scope those before work. Which column(s) define a true duplicate—ID/email, or the whole row?

Hello, I can clean and return your workbook with a clear audit trail. I will remove duplicates, standardize capitalization, dates and number formats, trim hidden spaces, check column types, and flag missing or unclear values rather than guessing. I will also provide a short summary of the changes and a separate review list for any rows that still require your decision. I can complete a 50–500 row workbook within one day after receiving the file. Please confirm whether duplicate detection should use exact row matches or selected key columns.

This is a project I can deliver well on. I understand the full scope: deduplicating rows, fixing inconsistent capitalization/number/date formats, filling or flagging missing values, trimming extra spaces and hidden characters, and ensuring consistent column data types across the 50–500-row workbook ready for immediate analysis or reporting use. My approach: I'll first do a quick diagnostic pass (checking row count, column types, and obvious anomalies) before touching anything, then use Power Query for the heavy-lifting transformations (dedup, trimming, type standardization) since it's repeatable and auditable, backed by XLOOKUP/conditional formatting for spot-checks and error flagging. Any row I can't confidently resolve gets flagged clearly rather than guessed at, and I'll return the cleaned file along with a short summary of exactly what was changed and what still needs your judgment call. A few quick questions to scope this precisely: Is there a "source of truth" column (like an ID) I should treat as the key for detecting duplicates? Do you have a preferred date/number format standard (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY)? Any columns I should leave untouched, or is the whole sheet fair game? Ready to start as soon as you share the file.
