Excel Customer Data Deduplication and Cleaning Automation

Excel Python Pandas Power Query VBA
Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

Customer records spread across Excel workbooks frequently accumulate duplicates and formatting discrepancies—such as irregular whitespace, inconsistent date and telephone formats, mixed text casing, and conflicting entries across names, emails, and phone numbers. Without an automated way to resolve multi-field duplicates and identify the most recent record, teams waste hours on manual cleanup.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Develop an automated data cleansing and deduplication pipeline using Python (Pandas) or an Excel Power Query / VBA macro. The pipeline standardizes text casing, strips stray spaces, normalizes date and contact formats, cross-checks composite identifiers (email, phone, and name) to consolidate duplicates while retaining the latest record, and exports a clean master sheet via a one-click script.
