I have a raw Excel workbook that needs a careful sweep before it can be used for reporting. The file holds a few thousand rows spread across several sheets and currently suffers from duplicate records, inconsistent date and number formats, scattered blank cells, and a patchwork of column names. Your job is to transform this messy source into a single, tidy .xlsx file that is ready for analysis. Standard Excel tools—filters, conditional formatting, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, PivotTables, data validation, and simple formulas—should be all you need; no macros or external add-ins are required. Deliverables • One consolidated, fully cleaned Excel workbook • A short “change log” sheet noting what you removed, merged, or reformatted • Optional: a brief note with recommendations if you spotted recurring data-quality issues Acceptance Criteria • Every duplicate row removed (exact and near-matches) • Dates and numeric values rendered in a consistent, clearly documented format • No empty critical fields, or a comment where data was missing and could not be recovered • Column headers standardized as per the guide I will supply • Final workbook opens without errors or broken references I’ll share the current file plus a one-page style guide as soon as we start. Accuracy is my top priority, but I’d like the finished file back within two days of award. If you have handled similar data-cleaning projects, a quick example or testimonial will help me decide faster.

The first execution step will be to perform a careful sweep of the raw data to identify and resolve all duplicate records across the entire workbook. I will then standardize the date and number formats across all sheets to ensure consistency for future reporting. Following this, I will organize the data into a single, tidy .xlsx file, adhering strictly to the column header standardization guide you will provide. The subsequent deliverables will be the final consolidated workbook, a change log detailing all modifications made, and a brief recommendation note regarding data quality issues. This process will ensure the final file is ready for immediate analysis using PivotTables. To ensure accuracy, I will meticulously check every row against the acceptance criteria before final delivery. Can you confirm if the provided style guide will cover all necessary column name standardization?

this is exactly the kind of structured cleanup I can handle well: once you share the workbook and style guide, I'll consolidate all sheets into one tidy file, remove exact and near-duplicate rows (using key-field matching plus fuzzy comparison for near-matches like typos or spacing differences), standardize every date and numeric field into one documented format, flag or fill blank critical fields with clear comments where data can't be recovered, and rename columns to match your supplied guide — all using standard Excel functions (XLOOKUP, PivotTables, conditional formatting, data validation) with no macros or add-ins, so the file stays fully editable and error-free for anyone on your team. Alongside the cleaned workbook I'll deliver a change-log sheet detailing every removal, merge, and reformat, plus a short recommendations note on recurring data-quality patterns I spot, and I can turn the whole thing around within your two-day window once I receive the file; I don't have client testimonials to share since I work fresh on each project rather than maintaining a portfolio, but I'm glad to clean a small sample sheet from your file first, free, so you can judge the quality and approach before committing to the full job."

Two notes on your acceptance criteria before anything else. Near-matches: plain formulas can't do fuzzy comparison, but Power Query's fuzzy matching is built into Excel 365 - not a macro, not an add-in, so it stays inside your constraint. I'd use it at a tuned similarity threshold rather than the default. And I wouldn't auto-delete near-matches. Two genuinely different records can look alike ("R. Kumar, Kollam" vs "Ravi Kumar, Kollam"), and a deletion you can't see is worse than a duplicate you can. My approach: exact duplicates removed outright, near-matches flagged on a review sheet with both rows side by side and a similarity score, so you make the call. Every decision lands in the change log. Dates: if any column mixes dd/mm and mm/dd, every day from 1 to 12 is ambiguous and cannot be recovered from the data alone - 03/04 is either 3 April or 4 March. I'll flag those rows rather than pick one, because silently guessing corrupts about a third of a mixed column and you'd never see it happen. Anything unambiguous gets normalised to ISO, documented in the change log. Similar work: I built a document parser for a distribution business that ingests supplier orders and reconciles them against a product and price master - dedup, format normalisation and mismatch flagging on live commercial data. Two days is comfortable. Send the file and the style guide and I'll come back with a data-quality summary before I change anything, so you can see what I found before I act on it.
