I have an Excel workbook that stores our customer information, and over time the file has accumulated duplicate records that are not always exact copies—many differ only by slight variations in the customer name. I need the entire sheet reviewed and cleansed so every customer appears only once while all underlying details (emails, phone numbers, addresses, notes) are preserved in the surviving record. You will spot duplicates by matching similar names rather than relying on a strict cell-for-cell comparison, so techniques such as fuzzy lookup, Power Query merge rules, or a custom VBA routine are welcome as long as the logic is transparent and repeatable for future runs. Deliverables • A cleaned Excel file with one unique row per customer • A brief outline of the matching logic or steps used (so I can reuse it later) • A short summary of any assumptions or edge cases you encountered and how you resolved them I’ll validate by sampling random customers and confirming no unintended merges occurred and no duplicate entries remain when a new fuzzy-match pass is run with the same settings. If everything checks out, the job is complete.

Hello, I can help clean your Excel customer workbook by identifying and merging duplicate records, including near-duplicates caused by spelling variations, abbreviations, spacing differences, or inconsistent formatting. My approach will be to first review the workbook structure and key fields such as customer name, email, phone, address, and notes. I will standardize names by cleaning case, spaces, punctuation, and common suffixes, then apply fuzzy-matching logic to detect likely duplicate customers. Where possible, I will use supporting fields such as email, phone number, or address to avoid incorrect merges based only on similar names. For consolidation, I will keep one surviving row per customer while preserving all useful details from duplicate rows, including alternate emails, phone numbers, addresses, and notes. Any uncertain matches can be flagged separately for review instead of being merged automatically. Deliverables will include a cleaned Excel file, a brief outline of the matching logic used, and a short summary of assumptions or edge cases. I can also provide a reusable Power Query, VBA, or documented Excel process for future runs. Best regards.
