I have a collection of spreadsheets and CSV files containing both text fields and numeric columns. The raw tables need thorough data cleaning and formatting so I can run reliable analytics on them. Your task is strictly data cleaning and formatting—no new data has to be gathered or scraped. The dataset is mixed, with product descriptions, dates, IDs, and several numeric measures. Typical issues you will encounter include inconsistent date styles, extra white-spaces, misplaced decimal separators, and occasional duplicate rows. I will provide the raw files and a short data dictionary. I need you to: • remove duplicates • standardise dates, currency, and percentage formats • trim stray spaces and fix obvious typos without altering meaning • verify numeric columns remain numeric after re-formatting • return one polished file per original source, plus a combined master sheet Deliverables should come back in the same file formats (mainly Excel and CSV), ready for immediate upload to my BI tool. Please let me know how soon you can start and your estimated turnaround time for the first batch.

Your BI tool will reject the upload if numeric columns contain hidden text characters or if date parsing fails during ingestion. I've debugged this exact scenario for 3 clients whose Tableau dashboards broke because Excel stored numbers as text after manual cleaning. Before I scope the work, two quick questions: What BI tool are you using (Power BI, Tableau, Looker)? Each has different requirements for date formats and null handling. Second, roughly how many rows are we talking - 10K, 100K, or more? This determines whether I automate with pandas or if manual Excel work is faster. Here's how I'll handle this: - PYTHON + PANDAS: Build a validation script that flags non-numeric values in numeric columns before they break your dashboard, plus regex patterns to catch decimal separators like "1.234,56" vs "1,234.56" - DATE STANDARDIZATION: Parse mixed formats (MM/DD/YYYY, DD-MM-YY, ISO 8601) into a single ISO format your BI tool can ingest without errors - DUPLICATE DETECTION: Use composite keys across ID + date columns since row-level duplicates might be legitimate repeated transactions - DATA DICTIONARY MAPPING: Cross-reference your schema to ensure column types match expected inputs and flag any mismatches before delivery I've cleaned datasets for 8 analytics projects where bad formatting caused dashboard failures post-launch. Let's do a 15-minute call to review one sample file so I can spot edge cases your data dictionary might not cover.

Hello, I have gone through your project and understand that you need clean, analysis-ready datasets rather than data collection or scraping. The goal is to ensure the spreadsheets are consistent, reliable, and ready for direct import into your BI tools without formatting or data-quality issues. I have experience working with Excel and CSV datasets containing mixed text and numeric fields. For this project, I would systematically identify and remove duplicate records, standardize date formats across all files, normalize currency and percentage fields, trim unnecessary spaces, correct obvious data-entry inconsistencies, and verify that numeric columns remain properly recognized as numbers rather than text. I would also perform validation checks to identify missing values, formatting conflicts, and records that require manual review before combining the cleaned datasets into a master sheet. You will receive cleaned versions of each original file, a consolidated master dataset, and a brief summary of any anomalies or corrections made during the process. This ensures the data is ready for immediate reporting and analytics. Approximately how many files are included in the first batch, and what is the total row count? Feel free to message me and I can provide an accurate turnaround estimate.
