I will do accurate data entry and Excel cleanup for your spreadsheets

I will do accurate data entry and Excel cleanup for your spreadsheets, turning messy, inconsistent files into clean, structured, ready-to-use data you can actually trust.

What you get

• Accurate manual data entry from PDFs, scanned documents, images, websites, emails, business cards, or printed pages into a clean Excel (.xlsx), Google Sheets, or CSV file of your choosing.
• Spreadsheet cleanup and standardization: removing duplicate rows, fixing inconsistent capitalization, trimming hidden spaces, normalizing dates, phone numbers, currencies, and units into one consistent format.
• Deduplication based on the rules you define (exact match, email match, fuzzy name+address match) with a separate tab showing exactly which rows were merged or removed so nothing disappears silently.
• Formatting and structure fixes: splitting full names into first/last, separating combined address fields into street/city/state/ZIP, merging columns, and reorganizing data so each column holds one type of value.
• Error correction: catching typos, misaligned columns, numbers stored as text, broken formulas, and #REF/#N/A errors, then fixing the underlying cause rather than just hiding it.
• Clean delivery file with proper headers, frozen top row, sensible column widths, consistent number/date formats, and an optional summary tab noting what was changed.
• A short change log in plain English describing the cleanup decisions I made, so you can review and approve them.

Every file is double-checked before delivery. For larger datasets I run validation checks (row counts, blank-field counts, value-range checks) to confirm nothing was lost or duplicated during the work.

Pick the plan that matches your dataset size and how much cleanup the file needs. If you're not sure which tier fits, send me a sample and I'll tell you honestly.

How it works

1. Share your files and goal. Send the spreadsheet, PDFs, images, or website link, and tell me what the finished file should look like (column order, formats, what counts as a duplicate, target output format).
2. I review and confirm scope. I open the source, check the data quality, flag anything ambiguous, and confirm the row count and exactly what I'll do before starting. If something is unclear, I ask rather than guess.
3. I do the work. I enter and/or clean the data following your rules, keeping a copy of the original untouched and tracking every change I make.
4. I run quality checks. I verify row counts, scan for blanks, mismatched formats, and stray duplicates, and proofread entered values against the source.
5. You review the draft. I deliver the cleaned file plus a change log. You check it and request any adjustments within the plan's revisions.
6. Final delivery. You receive the finished file in your chosen format, ready to use.

Why choose this

I treat your data as something to preserve, not just process. The original is never overwritten, every removal or merge is logged, and I'd rather pause to ask one question than make an assumption that quietly corrupts a thousand rows. Manual entry is genuinely manual where accuracy matters, and I proofread instead of trusting a one-pass copy-paste. You get a file that's not only clean today but structured so it stays clean: consistent formats, real column types, and no hidden surprises like numbers stored as text or trailing spaces breaking your lookups. Clear communication, honest scoping, and on-time delivery are the baseline, not the upsell.

Who it's for / use cases

• Small business owners consolidating customer, supplier, or inventory lists scattered across multiple files.
• Sales and marketing teams cleaning and deduplicating lead or contact lists before importing into a CRM or email tool.
• Researchers and students transcribing survey responses, references, or printed tables into an analyzable spreadsheet.
• Bookkeepers and admins standardizing transaction logs, invoices, or expense records into a consistent format.
• E-commerce sellers formatting product catalogs, SKUs, prices, and descriptions for upload to a store platform.
• Anyone sitting on a messy inherited spreadsheet that has become too inconsistent to filter, sort, or trust.

FAQ

Q: What file formats can you work with? I accept Excel (.xlsx, .xls), CSV, Google Sheets, PDFs, images/scans, and web pages, and I can deliver in Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets. Just tell me your preferred output.

Q: How do you keep my data accurate? I keep the original file untouched, proofread entered values against the source, and run validation checks (row counts, blank and duplicate scans, format checks) before delivery. For manual entry I review the work a second time rather than trusting a single pass.

Q: Will deleting duplicates lose any of my data? No. I deduplicate only by the rules you approve, and I keep a separate tab listing every row that was merged or removed so you can verify nothing important was dropped.

Q: Can you handle a really messy or inconsistent spreadsheet? Yes, that's exactly the kind of file this service is built for. The messier the input, the more useful the cleanup, formatting, and standardization work becomes.

Q: Is my data kept confidential? Yes. Your files are used only to complete your project and are not shared with anyone. If you'd like a non-disclosure agreement in place first, that's fine.

Q: How long will it take? Turnaround depends on dataset size and how much cleanup is needed. I confirm a realistic delivery time after reviewing your file, and I deliver on the date we agree to.

Q: What if I'm not happy with the result? Each plan includes revisions, and I'll fix anything that doesn't match the scope we agreed on. I'd rather adjust the file until it's right than call it done prematurely.

Q: Do you build formulas, charts, or dashboards too? This service focuses on accurate data entry and cleanup. I can apply basic formulas and formatting as part of the work; for full dashboards or complex reporting, message me first so we can confirm it fits the scope.
