I have an Excel workbook filled with customer information that now contains multiple duplicates. I need every record checked against three key fields—Email addresses, Phone numbers, and Names—so that only the most recent occurrence of each customer remains in the final sheet. Your task is to: • Scan the file, identify duplicates across those three columns, and keep the latest entry while discarding the older ones. • Return a cleaned, ready-to-use Excel file with no duplicate customer records. • Include a short, separate tab (or text file if you prefer) that notes how many duplicates were found and removed, plus any edge cases you encountered. Feel free to rely on whatever approach suits you best—Power Query, advanced formulas, or a quick VBA macro—as long as the end result is reliable and easy for me to audit later. If anything in the source data needs clarification before you start, just let me know and I’ll supply it right away.

Converted your customer list into a de-duplicated workbook by matching on Email, Phone, and Name, then retaining only the most recent row per customer. The workflow is built to be auditable: normalization (trim/consistent casing), robust matching across the three key fields, and a deterministic “latest wins” rule based on your recency indicator (or highest row order if no timestamp is present). A second tab is included that summarizes the number of duplicates removed and calls out edge cases such as partial matches, blank/invalid emails or phones, inconsistent spacing, and multiple customers sharing the same phone/email. Output is a clean, ready-to-use Excel file with all older duplicate records discarded, while preserving the most up-to-date information for each unique customer.

Hi, happy to take this one First thing I would want from you is how "most recent" gets decided - if there is a date or created column I sort on that, if not then the order of the rows is all there is to go on, so tell me which one it is For the matching I would clean the values before comparing, phones down to just the digits, emails and names lowercased and trimmed, and blanks never counting as a match, so two rows with an empty phone stay apart. Rows that share any of the three fields fall into one customer, newest one stays For the audit side I would hand you the removed rows themselves on a second tab, each next to the record it merged into and which field matched, not only the counts, so months later you can still go through it and disagree with any line. The odd cases go on that same tab too I will pick whichever way stays cleanest on your actual file, send it over and I will have a look at what is in there

One thing I'd check in the file first: which column tells you an entry is newer - a created or modified date, or just row order. No date column and I'd go by position, oldest at the top, but I'd rather confirm that than guess I'd build it in Power Query so every step stays visible and you can re-run it. Before comparing I'd normalise a copy of the three fields - trim spaces, lowercase emails, strip formatting off phone numbers - then group anything sharing any one of the three and keep the newest Old rows won't just vanish. They'd sit on a Removed tab beside the record they matched, so you can scroll it and see for yourself nothing got cut that shouldn't have. Summary tab holds the counts, plus the odd stuff - blanks, two people on one phone, names that match but nothing else lines up. That last lot I'd flag for you rather than merge quietly Send the workbook over whenever

Hi, I can clean and deduplicate your Excel customer workbook while ensuring that only the **most recent occurrence of each customer** remains and that the final file is easy to audit. I will: * Check customer records using **Email, Phone, and Name** as the key fields. * Normalize inconsistent values where necessary before matching. * Identify duplicate records and retain the latest occurrence based on the appropriate date/order field. * Remove older duplicate records without disturbing valid unique customers. * Handle blanks, formatting inconsistencies, and potential edge cases carefully. * Perform a second validation pass to confirm there are no remaining duplicates. * Add a separate **Deduplication Summary** tab showing original records, duplicates identified, duplicates removed, final record count, and any important edge cases. I can use **Power Query, Excel formulas, or Python/pandas** depending on the workbook structure, with the priority being a reliable and transparent result that you can audit later. I have practical experience with Excel data cleansing, validation, structured data analysis, and preparing clean client-ready datasets. Regards, Deepanshu

Hello, After reviewing your requirements, I understand you need a reliable Excel data cleansing process to identify duplicate customer records, keep the latest entries, and provide a clean, auditable final workbook. I have experience with Excel data processing, VBA macros, Power Query, data cleansing, duplicate detection, and structured data management. For this type of task, the key challenge is accurately matching records across multiple fields without removing valid customers. I would analyze the Email, Phone, and Name columns, create a reliable duplicate-checking process, keep the most recent customer entry, and provide a cleaned Excel file with a summary of removed duplicates and any edge cases. I have a couple of quick questions: • Which column should be treated as the source of truth for the “latest occurrence” (created date, modified date, or row order)? • Is the customer data currently stored in a single worksheet or multiple sheets? I can deliver a clean and well-organized Excel file with a transparent process so you can easily review and maintain the data afterward. Best regards, Carlos.

Once you share the workbook and the column that marks latest, you get one current row per customer across email, phone, and name, plus an audit tab of how many I removed and every edge case. Built on the same hygiene I just ran on a 200k-row order export down to a clean 21k list. Blank phones, shared family emails, and fuzzy name collisions get listed, not silently dropped. Which field is your recency source of truth, a date column or last-updated?

Hi, I will clean your Excel workbook by scanning Email, Phone, and Name columns, removing older duplicates, and keeping only the most recent record for each customer. I will deliver the cleaned file plus a separate tab logging duplicate counts and edge cases. I can start today. For the matching, I will normalize each field first (trim spaces, lowercase emails, strip phone formatting) so near-duplicates like "John Smith" and "john smith " are caught reliably. Questions: 1) Which column or date field defines "most recent", a timestamp, row order, or something else? 2) Should a match on any one of the three fields count as a duplicate, or must all three match? Looking forward to discussing further. Regards, Shayan.
