Excel Data Entry & Cleanup

I need several batches of mixed text and numeric records transferred into a single Excel workbook and then professionally formatted so the file is immediately usable.

Here’s what the job involves:
• Enter every record exactly as it appears in the source files, double-checking for spelling, number transposition, and misplaced decimal points.
• Apply clear, consistent formatting—column widths aligned, headers styled, text wrapped where necessary, dates and currency set to the correct locale, and filters enabled for quick sorting.
• Insert light data validation (drop-downs, error alerts) where it helps prevent future entry mistakes.
• Provide a concise change log noting any obvious discrepancies you resolved or questions you flagged.

The final deliverable is an .xlsx file that opens cleanly in Excel 2016+ with all data present, correctly formatted, and ready for analysis.

Accuracy is more important than speed, yet I do appreciate a realistic turnaround estimate. If you already use techniques such as double-entry verification, conditional formatting checks, or VBA spot audits, let me know—that reassures me the numbers will be right the first time.
