I will clean, merge and automate your excel or CSV files with python
About this Gig
If you do it the same way every week, it should not be you doing it.
Merging twelve exports into one file. Fixing dates that arrive in four different formats. Removing duplicates by hand. These are twenty-minute jobs that cost you twenty minutes forever.
I write you a small Python script that does it in one run.
WHAT YOU GET
The cleaned Excel or CSV file, plus the script itself and a short read-me with the exact command to run it. It runs on your machine, with your files, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
TYPICAL JOBS
Merging or splitting spreadsheets and CSVs, standardising messy exports, removing duplicates, fixing date, name and number formats, converting between file formats, rebuilding the same report every week.
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
The task described in plain words, two or three real example files (anonymised is fine) and one example of the output you want.
WHAT I DO NOT DO
Full applications, anything that logs into a service on your behalf, and anything touching payment or personal data. Message me first and I will tell you honestly if your job fits.

FAQ
Do I need to know Python to use it?
No. You get a read-me with the exact command to run, written for someone who has never opened a terminal. If Python is not installed on your machine, I include the two-minute setup.
Is my data safe?
The script runs locally on your machine and nothing is uploaded anywhere. Send me anonymised sample files and I will build against those, then you run it on the real data yourself.
What if my files change format later?
Small format changes are usually a one-line fix. Message me and in most cases I will do it for free.
