Text Data Cleanup & Formatting - 09/11/2025 17:54 EST
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I have a sizeable batch of text-based records that must be cleaned up and formatted inside Excel (or Google Sheets, if you prefer). The raw files show the usual culprits—irregular spacing, mixed capitalization, stray characters, and a sprinkling of duplicates. On kickoff I’ll hand you a clear, line-by-line formatting guide so you can follow our internal style without guesswork.
You’ll have at least 20 hours a week available to keep the project moving quickly, but accuracy can never dip; every cell has to match the rules I provide. Feel free to lean on native Excel functions, Power Query, or lightweight macros—whatever lets you hit both speed and precision.
Deliverables
• A fully cleaned and consistently formatted spreadsheet that passes spot audits against the guide.
• A brief log of any assumptions or fixes that fell outside the documented rules.
I’ll be around for rapid feedback and batch reviews so we can lock in quality early. If this first file meets the mark, there’s more waiting in the queue. Let me know how you’d tackle the cleanup and when you can start.
