⚡ The 60-Second Data Cleanup That Saves Hours

Before you build ANY report, pivot table, or dashboard — do this first:

1. Remove blank rows → Filter column → Select blanks → Delete

2. Trim extra spaces → =TRIM(A2) and drag down

3. Remove duplicates → Data tab → Remove Duplicates

4. Fix inconsistent text → =PROPER(A2) for names, =UPPER(A2) for codes

5. Handle errors → =IFERROR(your_formula, "N/A")

That's it. 60 seconds. 5 steps.

Do this BEFORE you start your analysis and you'll avoid:

❌ Lookup failures

❌ Wrong totals in reports

❌ Embarrassing errors in front of leadership

I used to skip this step and paid for it later (hours of debugging). Now it's the first thing I do. Every time.

What's your data cleanup routine? Or do you just wing it? 😅
