Google Sheets Automation Formula Optimization

I have a Google Sheet that is still far too manual for my liking. Each week I paste fresh data into a raw-data tab and then find myself repeating the same sequence of clean-ups and report builds. I’d like you to replace those clicks with intelligent, lightweight formulas so the moment I drop new rows in, everything else updates automatically.

The core of the job is to automate two areas:

• Report generation – roll-up tables, dynamic charts, and any summary views that can refresh themselves without scripting. QUERY, ARRAYFORMULA, FILTER, and IMPORTRANGE are all welcome if they keep things fast.
• Data cleaning & formatting – trimming spaces, standardising dates, splitting combined fields, and flagging obvious errors, all handled inline so the sheet stays tidy and the calculations remain transparent.

All data arrives by manual input or copy/paste, so there’s no API work needed—just sharp formula logic and perhaps a few helper ranges. Performance matters; I want the file to stay responsive even as the row count grows.

Acceptance is simple: after you’re done, I should be able to drop new data into the raw tab, press nothing, and watch the cleaned table and reports refresh instantly with correct figures and formatting.

If you enjoy squeezing every bit of power out of Google Sheets functions, this will be a quick, satisfying win.
