I have several Excel workbooks that contain raw income-statement figures. Before I can run any meaningful analysis, the data needs a careful pass of cleansing—removing duplicates, fixing inconsistent formats, standardising account names—and then re-entered into a tidy, well-structured sheet that aligns with my chart-of-accounts layout. Here is what I expect: • Every line item in each workbook reviewed and corrected for spelling, date and numeric formatting. • Uniform column order (period, account code, account name, amount, notes). • One consolidated, error-free master sheet delivered back in .xlsx format. I will provide the existing Excel files and a brief style guide for headers and acceptable account names. No OCR or PDF conversion is required; everything is already in spreadsheet form. To be sure we are on the same page, please outline your approach to data cleaning in Excel (Power Query, formulas, VBA, etc.) and tell me how you will QA your work before hand-off. A quick sample on the first 100 rows will help us confirm formatting early. Looking forward to working with someone who appreciates the nuances of financial data integrity and can turn this around promptly.

Hello, I have a rich experience in data standardisation/cleaning. I have experience in working with financial data and know excel well. My approach in this case: 1. Power Query will be used for: Use PQ's Column quality/profile view to spot text-stored numbers, mixed date formats, blanks. Keep originals untouched – for making profile of each source . Mapping table creation– build a lookup from the style guide: every name variant → canonical account name + code. Transformation per file, then append – Trim/Clean text, strip non-breaking spaces; set types with locale, codes as text to keep leading zeros; merge with mapping table, route unmatched names to an exceptions sheet; standardise period format; reorder columns. Add column with source file. Duplicates checking – flag by key (period + code + amount) and review before deleting because identical rows can be legitimate. Output creation – master table + exceptions sheet + short cleaning log. Formulas will be used for the QA and quick spot fixes. My approach: Control totals: sum per file and per period must match raw vs. clean-deleted explain any difference. Row counts: in = out + removed + exceptions. Zero text in numeric/date columns Every account name/code matches the approved list. MIN/MAX dates per file to catch locale errors. Final duplicate check (COUNTIFS all = 1); sort by name to spot near-duplicates. I could start tomorrow. Please let me know if you are interested in my services. Regards, Alex.

Hi, I can clean and consolidate your Excel income-statement workbooks into one tidy master .xlsx file with the exact column order you need: period, account code, account name, amount, and notes. My approach would be to first run a 100-row sample so you can confirm the formatting early, then clean duplicates, standardise account names against your guide, fix date/number formats, and QA the final file with checks for missing values, duplicate rows, mismatched account names, and inconsistent totals. I’m comfortable using Power Query, formulas, and manual review where financial judgement is needed. Happy to start with the sample so we can make sure the structure is right before the full clean-up.

Hey, I can turn this around for you. My approach: Power Query, not VBA. I set up a query per workbook that standardizes headers, merges against your chart-of-accounts as a lookup so account names get corrected against your approved list instead of me guessing at spelling, fixes date and numeric formatting (parentheses vs negatives, text-as-numbers, stray currency symbols), strips duplicates, then appends everything into one master query in your column order (period, account code, account name, amount, notes). Why Power Query over formulas or a macro: it's a documented, repeatable transformation. If you send more files later or the source data shifts slightly, I re-run it instead of rebuilding logic from scratch. QA before handoff: I reconcile column totals from the raw files against the cleaned master so nothing silently drops or duplicates, spot check rows against source, and anything that doesn't match an account name on your style guide gets flagged in the notes column rather than force fit or hidden. Happy to send you the first 100 rows once I have the files and style guide so you can sign off on formatting before I run the rest.

hi, this is straightforward for me, I would do it in Power Query rather than formulas or VBA. Power Query lets me pull all your workbooks in as one connection, clean and trim text, fix dates and number formats, remove duplicates, and then merge each line against your chart of accounts as a lookup table so account names get standardised consistently, not guessed row by row. it stays refreshable too, so if you send updated files later I just refresh instead of redoing the work by hand. for QA before handoff I check row counts in vs out so nothing silently drops, control totals per period so the sum of amounts matches the source files, and I flag anything that does not map cleanly to your COA instead of forcing a guess, so you see exactly what needs a decision from you. happy to run the first 100 rows first so you can confirm the column order and account naming look right before I do the rest, then consolidate everything into one master xlsx. send over the files and the style guide whenever you are ready and I will get started

Income statement data across multiple workbooks can accumulate inconsistencies quickly. Mismatched account names, formatting quirks, and duplicate entries each compound when you try to run analysis across periods. I will work through your files systematically: standardising headers and date formats, resolving duplicate rows, aligning account codes against your chart of accounts, and assembling everything into one clean consolidated master sheet in the column order you specified. My approach uses Power Query for bulk transformations where possible and formula-level auditing for edge cases, with a QA pass that cross-checks totals before delivery. I will start with a clean of the first 100 rows so you can confirm the formatting and style before I process everything. How many workbooks are we working with, and roughly how many line items does each contain?

Hi there. I understand you need several raw income-statement workbooks strictly cleansed, consolidated, and mapped to your exact chart-of-accounts. However, if a standard data-entry freelancer manually edits these rows, human error in financial data is inevitable, and the messy process will have to be repeated from scratch the next time you export new data. I can offer an enterprise-grade, fully automated solution. While I am expanding my freelance presence here, I bring 14+ years of data architecture and financial reporting automation experience to the table. My Approach & QA Strategy: Instead of a fragile manual scrub, I will build a robust, automated Power Query pipeline that programmatically ingests all your source workbooks, strips duplicates, standardizes your date/numeric formats, and perfectly aligns the naming conventions with your style guide. For QA, my architecture includes automated validation checks that instantly flag any unmapped accounts and ensure control totals match the raw source files perfectly before the final .xlsx hand-off. Proof of Concept: You wisely requested a 100-row sample to confirm formatting. To prove my technical precision, please send me a sanitized sample of your raw data alongside your style guide via chat. I will instantly run it through my automated pipeline and send you back the flawlessly formatted 100 rows completely free of charge before you commit to awarding the project. I am ready to start right now.
