Spreadsheet cleaning and deduplication

Use this when the information is present but inconsistent: duplicated records, mixed formats, extra spaces, inconsistent names, missing values or entries that need to be flagged for a human decision.

Suitable files

  •    Customer or contact lists

  •    Product and supplier lists

  •    Stock, order or asset exports

  •    Event, membership or operational records

What the customer receives

  •    A cleaned working copy

  •    Agreed formats standardised

  •    Likely duplicates handled according to agreed rules

  •    Exceptions and uncertain decisions clearly identified

  •    A short completion summary

Important boundaries

  •    No silent guessing where records are ambiguous

  •    No macros/VBA or financial-model audit within cleaning tiers

  •    Several differently structured source files require a custom quote

Comparison of customer records before and after cleaning, showing duplicate review and correction of email and company name fields in table format.

Price, timing and action

Price: From £95. Fixed cleaning tiers are shown on Pricing & Process.

Typical turnaround: Typically 2–5 business days for eligible fixed packages.

Combine Excel and CSV files

Use this when related information sits in separate exports or lists and needs to become one reliable master file using an agreed matching field such as SKU, customer ID or email address.

Suitable files

  •    Supplier price lists and stock exports

  •    Customer lists from different systems

  •    Monthly files with the same structure

  •    Order, product or asset data with a reliable key

What the customer receives

  •    One combined working file

  •    Documented matching rules

  •    Duplicates handled as agreed

  •    Unmatched or conflicting records shown separately

  •    A short completion summary

Important boundaries

  •     The source files need compatible information

  •     Fuzzy matching or substantial manual judgement requires a custom quote

  •     The service does not invent a reliable identifier where none exists

Screenshot of a data management interface with three tables titled "Supplier price list," "Stock export," and "Master file." The tables display information about parts, pricing, stock quantities, and currency conversions, with an arrow pointing from the "Stock export" table to the "Master file" table.

Price, timing and action

Price: £149 for two compatible files within the stated limits; £299 for a larger combination; custom quote beyond that.

Typical turnaround: Typically 2–5 business days after the files and matching rules are confirmed.

Spreadsheet repair and organisation

Use this when a workbook has become confusing or fragile: broken formulas, inconsistent sheet structure, unclear headings, awkward manual steps or one well-defined issue that prevents people using it reliably.

Suitable files

  •    Operational workbooks used every week

  •    Trackers with broken formulas or inconsistent status values

  •    Files with confusing tabs, headings or layouts

  •    A workbook with one clearly defined fault

What the customer receives

  •    A repaired working copy

  •    Improved structure and labelling

  •    Agreed formula or validation fixes

  •    Visible notes for unresolved exceptions

  •    A short completion summary

Important boundaries

  •     Password-protected or badly corrupted files are quoted only after review

  •     Complex VBA, financial-model audit and forensic recovery are outside standard packages

  •     Changes are limited to the agreed issue and workbook scope

Comparison of two tables illustrating workbook repair. The left table, titled 'Before: fragile order tracker,' shows order details with inconsistent language, formatting, and error messages. The right table, titled 'After: consistent working copy,' displays a cleaned, standardized, and professional-looking order tracker with consistent terminology and formatting.

Price, timing and action

Price: £75 for a quick, clearly defined fix; £149 for repair and organisation within the stated limits.

Typical turnaround: Typically 1–4 business days after scope is confirmed.

Trackers and reports

Use this when the current process relies on scattered notes or an unsuitable workbook and you need a practical place to enter, follow and review information.

Suitable files

  •    Order, project or task trackers

  •    Stock, asset or maintenance registers

  •    Sales or enquiry trackers

  •    Simple management summaries built from structured inputs

What the customer receives

  •    A purpose-built workbook within the agreed scope

  •    Clear input areas and controlled choices

  •    Standard formulas and summaries

  •    Basic guidance for everyday use

  •    A short handover and completion summary

Important boundaries

  •     The launch offer is for practical Excel workbooks, not a custom software platform

  •     Complex integrations, VBA and live multi-system dashboards require separate review

  •     The customer must confirm the process and decisions the workbook should support

Dashboard titled 'A tracker built around the way you work' with sections showing open orders, waiting, due this week, completed, an order tracker table with four orders, and a status summary bar chart. The order tracker table includes order numbers, customer names, owner initials, due dates, and order status.
