What was done
- Duplicates: 61 groups found (by email: 48, by name + phone: 13); merged into one row each, keeping the most complete details and the earliest sign-up date. Spending was not summed, because the two rows showed the same amount; 4 groups with different amounts are flagged for you.
- Names: split into first and last name; titles (Dr, Mrs, Mr) moved to their own column; capitalisation fixed, including O'Neil and McKenzie.
- Phones: 571 numbers brought to +44 format; 22 numbers with too few digits flagged.
- Emails: lower-cased and trimmed; 17 without a domain ending flagged as "Check email".
- Dates: 9 different formats converted to DD/MM/YYYY; month-only dates set to the 1st and flagged.
- Amounts: currency signs removed, comma and dot mix-ups fixed, stored as numbers.
Row count check

About this service
Send your table as an Excel file and tell us what counts as a duplicate, which formats you need and which columns to split or join. We go through every row: merge duplicates, bring names, phones, dates and prices to one format, split or join columns and mark empty or broken rows. You get the table back in Excel with a sheet listing every change and a before-and-after row count, so nothing disappears unnoticed.

What we need from you
The table as an Excel file with up to 12 columns (save a CSV or an online spreadsheet as Excel first), your rules for duplicates, the formats you want for phones, dates and currency, and confirmation that you may process the personal data in it.
We will ask you:
- What counts as a duplicate in your table?
- Which formats do you need for phones, dates and prices?
- Which columns should be split or joined?
- What should we do with empty or broken rows?

Questions and answers
Do you check that emails and phone numbers really exist?
No. We fix their format and mark entries that look wrong, but we do not check them online.
Will my formulas stay?
No. We read the cell values, and the cleaned table comes back with values only.
Can you add missing data, such as emails?
No. We clean the data you have; we do not look up, add or sell contacts.
My table has more than 1,200 rows. What can I do?
Split it into parts of up to 1,200 rows and place one order per part, using the same rules.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes, within the revisions of your package.
