Excel Data Cleaning & Formatting -- 2

I’m working with several spreadsheets that combine both text and numerical fields and need them ready for reliable analysis. Everything will be handled in Microsoft Excel—which is my preferred environment—though familiarity with Google Sheets is always a plus should a quick hand-off be required.

The raw files arrive in varying shapes, so your job is to bring uniformity and accuracy before I run deeper analytics. Specifically, I need you to:

• Remove duplicates
• Correct any obvious or hidden data entry errors
• Standardize formatting across columns and rows (dates, numeric precision, text casing, etc.)

Along the way you’ll also re-enter or adjust individual records where information is missing or inconsistent, keep clear notes of any assumptions, and leave me with a tidy workbook that’s filter-ready and pivot-table friendly.

A good eye for detail, solid command of Excel functions (Power Query, conditional formatting, data validation, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP), and a track record of working with mixed datasets are important. If you’ve done similar cleanup projects, attach a brief sample or describe the approach you took—seeing your method matters more than file size.

I’ll review proposals as they come in and aim to choose someone who can start soon and communicate progress clearly. Looking forward to seeing how you can streamline this data.
