An Excel file with several thousand rows needs a quick but thorough format overhaul. The only issue I’m facing is inconsistent data presentation—no duplicate removal or missing-value work is required. Here’s what I need: • Dates and times must all follow a single, clean standard (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD). Some cells currently mix slashes, dashes, and regional order, so the job involves detecting every variation and converting it accurately without altering the underlying values. • Text columns require tidy, uniform formatting—trimming stray spaces, fixing broken line breaks, and ensuring consistent case where appropriate—so that filtering, lookups, and pivot tables work flawlessly afterward. You may use native Excel functions, Power Query, or VBA; whichever route you choose, the final workbook must be 100 % formula-safe (no hidden links or macros unless documented). Please return: 1. The cleaned Excel file. 2. A short changelog or notes sheet outlining the steps you took so future updates stay consistent. That’s all—straightforward and focused purely on formatting corrections.

Hello, Your dates are the tricky part: cells mixing slashes, dashes and regional order need every variation detected and converted to YYYY-MM-DD without changing the underlying values. I also tidy the text columns, trimming stray spaces, repairing broken line breaks and aligning case, so filtering, lookups and pivot tables work cleanly afterwards. You receive the cleaned workbook plus a changelog sheet listing each step, so future updates stay consistent. Everything stays formula-safe, with no hidden links or undocumented macros. Firm price: 180 EUR, delivered within 3 days. One question: for genuinely ambiguous day/month dates, which order should I treat as the source, DD/MM or MM/DD? Best regards, Eric

aHi — one question before anything else, because it decides whether the result is correct or merely tidy: in the mixed dates, how should 03/04/2026 be read? If the file contains both DD/MM and MM/DD rows, no tool can tell them apart without a rule — origin of the export, a known date range, or a column that pins it down. Tell me which applies and I'll handle the rest. Approach: Power Query, so the workbook stays macro-free and the steps are re-runnable when you get the next export. Dates land as real date values in ISO display, not text that looks right — otherwise sorting and pivots quietly misbehave later. On the text columns I also strip the two that usually survive a TRIM: non-breaking spaces (CHAR 160, typical of web copy-paste) and embedded CHAR 10/13 line breaks. Those are what break lookups when everything looks clean on screen. You'll get back: the cleaned workbook, plus a Notes sheet listing every transformation, the columns it touched, and the row counts before and after — so you can verify nothing was lost and repeat it next time. 2 days. Happy to run the first 200 rows and show you the result before you fund anything. Maksym
