I have an Excel workbook that contains a mix of text and numbers spread across several sheets. The file has accumulated duplicates, scattered typos, and a variety of date, currency, and text formats that no longer line up. I need the data brought back to a consistent, reliable state. Here is what I expect: every duplicate row or record removed, obvious spelling mistakes corrected, and all columns standardized so dates, currencies, phone numbers, and any other values follow one clear pattern throughout. Because I am not yet committed to a single formatting convention, I would appreciate your recommendation on the most practical, professional standard before you begin—then apply it across the board. You may choose the most efficient approach (Excel formulas, Power Query, VBA, or another method) as long as the final workbook is clean, easy to understand, and ready for immediate analysis. Please return the updated file along with a short note or change log describing the key fixes you made and any assumptions taken while standardizing the data.

Hi, From your posting, I understand that the workbook has reached the point where the data is no longer dependable for clean reporting or analysis, and you need it brought back into one consistent, reliable structure across all sheets. My approach would be to clean the workbook at the record and field level — removing repeated records, fixing obvious entry issues, and applying one clear standard to dates, currencies, and text fields throughout. Before any changes are applied, I will review the data and send you a written recommendation on the formatting conventions. You approve the standard, then I apply it consistently. Everything changed is documented in a changelog so the file is fully auditable. A couple of details will help define the scope accurately. How many rows are we working with across the sheets, and are any of them linked by formulas or references that need to stay intact after cleaning? If you have even one example of how a clean record should look in the final file, that is enough to align on the standard before I touch anything. To get started I would need the current workbook and any notes on columns or fields that are particularly sensitive to change. 7 days from receipt of your files. Available for any questions. Darek
