I will standardize excel dates, numbers and text formats, clean CSV spreadsheet exports
Excel and Google Sheets Specialist
About this Gig
Do exported spreadsheets contain mixed date formats, numbers stored as text or inconsistent labels?
I standardise Excel dates, numbers and text using confirmed formats and conversion rules for your exported table.
What You Get:
- Review of selected columns and value types
- Date conversion where the source is clear
- Number-as-text conversion under agreed rules
- Consistent text case and trimmed spaces
- Agreed decimal and thousands separators
- Ambiguous or invalid values flagged
- Cleaned XLSX or CSV and a change summary
Basic covers 500 rows, Standard 2,000 and Premium 5,000. Each package covers one table, up to 15 columns and five agreed rules. Display formatting and value conversion are confirmed separately.
Why Choose Me?
I check samples before applying changes, preserve identifiers and compare results with the source. Unclear dates and missing values are flagged rather than guessed.
Currency conversion, timezone conversion, formula repairs, research and automation require separate quotes. CSV files store values only, without Excel display formats or styling.
Send your file, source locale and desired formats. Let's agree on the rules before you order.
FAQ
How is this different from general spreadsheet cleaning?
This service focuses on inconsistent value types and formats, such as text dates, numeric text, decimal separators and text case. Duplicate removal and file consolidation belong to the earlier gigs.
Does changing the display format convert the value?
Not always. A text date may need conversion into an Excel date value before date formatting works as intended. Microsoft documents conversion and formatting as separate steps.
Can you fix numbers stored as text?
Yes, under agreed rules. IDs, postal codes and other identifiers remain text where needed.
How do you handle ambiguous dates?
I ask for the source format or flag the values. For example, 03/04/2026 could mean March 4 or April 3.
Can you handle decimal commas and decimal points?
Yes, once the source convention is confirmed. A value such as 1,250 needs context before conversion.
