Precise Excel Data Entry
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
I have a stack of physical documents that need to be keyed into a single, well-organized Excel workbook. The pages contain a mix of numbers and text—product codes alongside descriptions, quantities next to notes—so careful attention to detail is essential.
Your task is straightforward: read each page, transfer every data point into the appropriate column, and keep the layout clear and consistent. I’m not asking for complex formulas or macros; accuracy, speed and consistent formatting (clean column headings, uniform fonts, correct number/date formats) are what matter most.
Once you’re done, I should be able to open the file and immediately filter, sort or run simple calculations without hunting for mis-typed entries. If something on a page is illegible, flag it so I can clarify rather than guessing.
Deliverables:
• A completed Excel file containing every record from the documents
• A brief note outlining any uncertainties you flagged or assumptions you had to make
If you’ve handled mixed-data transcription from hard-copy sources before and can keep errors to an absolute minimum, I’d love to work with you.
