I will do data entry, data cleaning, and spreadsheet formatting
About this Gig
Messy spreadsheet? Duplicate rows, dates in six formats, names in ALL CAPS, phone numbers that don't match? I'll fix it.
I clean up data so you can actually use it. No manual retyping. Just clean, consistent, ready-to-work-with data.
What I do:
- Remove duplicates (exact + near-matches on emails, names, IDs)
- Standardize dates, phone numbers, addresses, name formatting
- Split or merge columns (full name first + last)
- Fix encoding issues, trim whitespace, remove garbage characters
- Fill or flag missing values
- Merge multiple files into one clean sheet
- Add formulas, conditional formatting, frozen headers
- Extract data from PDFs into spreadsheets
What you get:
- Clean spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets)
- Short summary of every change I made
- Same row count you sent (unless we agreed to remove duplicates)
Formats: CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, TSV, JSON, XML, PDF
I don't guess at missing data. If I can't verify a value, I flag it so you know which cells are uncertain.
Message me before ordering and I'll look at a sample for an accurate quote.

FAQ
What file formats can you handle?
CSV, Excel (.xlsx/.xls), Google Sheets, TSV, JSON, XML, and PDF. If you have something else, ask.
How do you handle duplicates?
I match on the criteria that matters to you (email, phone, name, ID) and flag near-matches for your review. I don't silently delete rows.
Can you work with large files?
Up to 50,000 rows. For larger datasets, message me for a custom quote.
What's a "cleaning report"?
A short summary listing exactly what was changed: how many duplicates removed, which formats were standardized, which values were flagged as uncertain. No surprises.
Do you format spreadsheets for presentations?
Yes. Number formatting, currency symbols, conditional formatting, frozen rows/columns, auto-fit widths.
Can you extract data from PDFs?
Yes. Tables from PDFs convert cleanly most of the time. Scanned documents need OCR, which I can handle too.
Is my data confidential?
Yes. I don't share, reuse, or retain your data after delivery. Happy to sign an NDA.
