I have several very large spreadsheets that need to be audited, cleaned, and uniformly formatted. The job revolves around identifying and fixing discrepancies quickly while keeping every entry accurate. You’ll be diving into thousands of rows, using VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, and any other advanced functions you find useful to reconcile records, highlight mismatches, and verify totals. I care a lot about proper formatting—leading zeros must stay intact, text-to-number issues have to be resolved, and custom field structures need to remain consistent from sheet to sheet. Throughout the process I expect frequent spot-checks to confirm that formulas are returning the correct values and that no data has been lost or overwritten. Deliverables: • One consolidated, fully audited workbook (or the same number of source files if you prefer) with clean, consistently formatted data. • A short changelog or summary that explains what was fixed, the formulas employed, and any remaining anomalies I should be aware of. If you’re quick with large datasets, meticulous about accuracy, and comfortable leveraging Excel’s full toolbox to track down errors, this project should be straightforward.

The real job here is the fast, accurate reconciliation of thousands of rows of data, fixing discrepancies and verifying totals so that leading zeros and custom field structures remain intact. I'll use VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP to reconcile records, also using other advanced functions as needed to find mismatches and confirm totals. The formatting requirements will be handled by explicit steps to preserve leading zeros and resolve text-to-number issues, ensuring custom fields are consistent. Spot-checks will be done as the work progresses to confirm formula results and data integrity. I would build the reconciliation and cleanup first, because that establishes the correct data foundation before tackling the specific formatting rules. Do you have a sample of the data that shows the typical discrepancies you're encountering? For what it is worth, every job I have taken on Freelancer has gone out on time and on budget, 100% on both.

Hi, I can audit and clean your large Excel datasets while keeping the original data traceable and protected throughout the process. My first step would be to create a working copy and profile each workbook for duplicates, blanks, inconsistent field types, leading-zero issues, formatting differences, formula errors and cross-sheet discrepancies. I’m comfortable using XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, SUMIFS/COUNTIFS, dynamic arrays, Power Query, PivotTables and VBA/macros where automation genuinely saves time. For large datasets, I prefer repeatable reconciliation checks rather than relying only on manual inspection. I’ll preserve identifier fields as text where required, normalize inconsistent structures, reconcile related records, validate totals independently and perform spot checks throughout the cleanup. You’ll receive the cleaned workbook(s) plus a concise changelog covering corrections, formulas/processes used, validation results and any unresolved anomalies requiring your decision. I can also keep the cleanup logic reusable so future spreadsheets can be processed more efficiently.
