I need an experienced Excel data specialist to tidy up my product master. The May 20th workbook is the baseline; the current workbook must be compared against it, SKU-by-SKU, using each COSKU’s unique ID to pinpoint anything my CSRs have added since that date. Once the new SKUs are isolated, two additional Excel files from Procurement and Sourcing come into play. From those, I only want the Product Category and Product Line columns—but they have to be translated into my own normalized product-line naming before you paste them in. Type, Size, Neck Finish and any other missing attribute fields should be populated with the standard default values I will supply. After the merge: • Guarantee one—and only one—row per COSKU. • Eliminate true duplicates, yet double-check Category and Line first so nothing valid is lost. • Leave every other column exactly as it appears in the May 20th baseline; no unintended edits or re-ordering. Deliverable: a single, clean Excel file that contains every part number with a COSKU, all newly added SKUs correctly classified, defaulted attributes filled, and zero duplicates. I’ll review the finished workbook with a quick row-count and spot-check, so accuracy must be 100 %. If this sounds straightforward to you and you’re comfortable with VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Power Query or similar reconciliation techniques, let’s get started.

Hello, I have carefully analyzed the requirements for the Excel SKU Reconciliation & Deduplication project. I understand the need for comparing the current workbook with the May 20th baseline, isolating new SKUs, merging data from additional files, ensuring data integrity, and delivering a clean Excel file with accurate information. To handle your project, I will start with comparing the workbooks SKU-by-SKU using VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP and Power Query for data reconciliation. I will then merge the necessary columns from the Procurement and Sourcing files, translating them into the required format before populating missing attribute fields with default values. The deliverables will include a single Excel file with every COSKU, correctly classified new SKUs, filled default attributes, and zero duplicates, ensuring 100% accuracy. Before signing-off my bid, I would like to ask a question, i.e., "Are there any specific default values or naming conventions for the product-line attributes?" Best Regards, Aneesa.

Hello Sherry, Your project centers on maintaining data integrity while enriching SKU records—a critical step for accurate inventory and sales insights. To align with your business goals, I propose a solution focused on delivering a clean, reliable product master that supports your CSRs and procurement teams without risking data loss or misclassification. Key approach: - Backend: Use Power Query and VBA to automate SKU comparison against the May 20 baseline, ensuring precise identification of new entries. - Frontend: Normalize Product Category and Product Line using your provided mappings, then populate missing attributes with your standard defaults. - Data integrity: Implement strict duplicate detection that cross-verifies Category and Line before removal, preserving valid variations. With over 5 years of experience in Excel data management and reconciliation for enterprise clients, I understand the importance of 100% accuracy and auditability in your deliverable. Could you please confirm the volume of SKUs involved and whether the default attribute values are consistent across all new SKUs or vary by category? This will help tailor the automation for your needs. Looking forward to partnering with you to deliver a flawless, business-ready SKU master. Best regards,

Hi there, I see that you need help with cleaning up your product master by comparing the current workbook against the May 20th baseline. My approach would involve using Excel functions like VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to identify newly added SKUs based on their unique COSKU IDs. After isolating those, I can merge the additional data from Procurement and Sourcing, ensuring I translate the Product Category and Product Line into your specified format while filling in any missing attributes with the default values you provide. With 4+ years of experience in data processing and cleansing, I’m confident in delivering a clean Excel file that meets your requirements: one row per COSKU, no duplicates, and accurate data. Could you clarify how you would like the default values for the missing attributes structured? Best regards, Arslan Shahid

I would be glad to assist with your Excel SKU Reconciliation & Deduplication project. With strong experience in Excel, Data Processing, Data Cleansing, Power Query, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, and VBA-based automation, I can accurately compare your current workbook against the May 20th baseline using COSKU unique IDs to identify all newly added SKUs. My approach will include: • SKU-by-SKU reconciliation between both workbooks. • Identification of all new COSKUs added after May 20th. • Extraction and mapping of Product Category and Product Line from Procurement and Sourcing files. • Normalization of Product Line names according to your naming standards. • Population of Type, Size, Neck Finish, and other missing attributes using your supplied default values. • Deduplication with validation to ensure one and only one row per COSKU. • Verification of Category and Product Line before removing duplicates to prevent loss of valid records. • Preservation of all existing May 20th baseline data structure, formatting, and column order. • Final quality checks including row-count validation and spot-check review readiness. Accuracy is my top priority, and I understand that even minor inconsistencies can impact product master data. I will deliver a clean, fully reconciled Excel workbook containing all COSKUs, properly classified new SKUs, completed attributes, and zero duplicates.
