I will merge clean deduplicate and standardize excel or CSV files
About this Gig
I merge and clean multiple Excel/CSV files into a reliable master dataset. Everything is handled through Fiverr messages - no phone or Zoom needed.
Services: append rows or join files on key columns; remove duplicates using your match columns and keep-row rule; standardize column names, dates, numbers, whitespace and blanks; custom column mapping (Premium); retain source file and source row traceability where practical.
Deliverables vary by package: cleaned Excel/CSV master file, change log, exceptions report and QA summary with row counts, duplicate counts and validation notes.
To start, provide Excel/CSV/ZIP source files, output format, append or keyed-join choice, duplicate columns, keep-row rule, date format and cleaning instructions. Files must need no passwords, macros or external logins.
Not supported: unlawfully obtained data, data you lack rights to use, password removal, macro execution, external account login, or legal/financial decisions. You confirm permission to provide and use the data.
Choose a package by its item limit; complex joins or unusual formats may need a custom offer.
FAQ
What do you need before starting?
Please provide source Excel/CSV/ZIP files, output format, append vs keyed join, join keys, duplicate-match columns, row-to-keep rule, date format, and cleaning rules. Confirm you have rights to use the data and that no password, macro, or external login is needed.
What is included in the QA report?
The QA summary can include source and output row counts, duplicates found or removed, blank-value checks, standardization notes, exceptions, and validation warnings. Standard and Premium include stronger QA coverage; see the package details.
Can you merge files vertically or by key?
Yes. I can append rows when columns represent the same fields, or join files horizontally using one or more key columns. Tell me the method, keys, expected row-count behavior, and preferred handling for unmatched records.
How do you decide which duplicate row to keep?
You choose the duplicate-match columns and keep rule, such as newest date, oldest date, most complete row, first occurrence, or last occurrence. I will not guess if no rule is supplied; the requirement form asks for one before work begins.
Do I need a phone or Zoom call?
No. The project can be completed asynchronously through Fiverr messages and the requirement form. Clear files and rules are normally enough; I will ask follow-up questions only when a decision cannot be made safely from your instructions.
What work or files are not accepted?
I do not accept unlawfully obtained data or data you lack rights to use. I do not remove passwords, run macros, log in to external accounts, or make legal or financial decisions. Provide accessible files that you are authorized to share and use.
Will you preserve source traceability?
Where practical, I can add source file and source row fields so output records can be traced back. I also provide a change log and, depending on package, exceptions and QA documentation. Tell me if trace columns must remain in the final file.
