Design a reversible Excel data-cleaning plan.

Dataset purpose:
[purpose]

Columns and intended meanings:
[schema]

Representative rows and known issues:
[sample]

Do not edit or discard values yet. Profile each column for type, blanks, uniqueness, allowed values, formatting, and cross-field consistency. Separate harmless presentation differences from changes that alter meaning. Return:
1. Blocking questions and assumptions
2. Column-by-column issue table with evidence
3. Cleaning rule, validation rule, and exception handling for each issue
4. Recommended helper/audit columns
5. Safe execution order with a preserved raw copy
6. Before/after tests and a rollback method

Never infer missing identities, categories, dates, or business facts from appearance alone.

Entrada real

Dataset purpose
Prepare a customer export for CRM import and regional sales counts. The CRM requires a unique Customer ID, a valid email or blank, ISO country codes, and an ISO signup date.
Columns and intended meanings
CustomerID required unique text; Email optional; Country required ISO alpha-2; SignupDate required date; Status one of Active, Paused, Closed.
Representative rows and known issues
C-001 | ANA@EXAMPLE.COM | United Kingdom | 3/4/26 | active; C-002 | blank | UK | 2026-04-03 | Paused; C-002 | ana2@example.com | GB | 04/03/2026 | Active; C-004 | bad-address | U.K. | blank | closed.

Ejemplo de salida

Blocking questions

Confirm the source locale for 3/4/26 and 04/03/2026, the authoritative record for duplicate C-002, and whether a missing signup date blocks import. These cannot be inferred safely.

ColumnEvidenceCleaning ruleValidation / exception
CustomerIDC-002 repeatsTrim only; do not mergeCOUNTIF must equal 1; route duplicates to review
Emailuppercase, blank, malformedTrim and lowercase; preserve blankBasic structural check; flag bad-address
CountryUnited Kingdom, UK, GB, U.K.Map confirmed aliases to GBReject unmapped values
SignupDateISO plus ambiguous numeric textPreserve ISO; convert only after locale confirmationFlag ambiguous and blank values
Statuscase variationMap case-insensitively to approved labelsReject other values

Create RawValue, CleanValue, RuleApplied, and ReviewReason columns or a separate audit sheet. Duplicate the source sheet as Raw_ReadOnly, record row count and a checksum of CustomerID values, then clean helper columns in the order: keys → required fields → dates → controlled labels → optional fields. Import only rows with no ReviewReason. Reconcile final row count, unique key count, rejected rows, and each mapping total to the raw copy. Roll back by discarding the clean sheet; never overwrite Raw_ReadOnly.

Por qué funciona

  1. 1

    Profiling before mutation prevents cosmetic cleanup from changing business meaning.

  2. 2

    Raw copies and audit columns make every transformation reviewable and reversible.

  • Is every cleaning rule tied to a stated field meaning or allowed value?

  • Can exceptional rows be reviewed without being overwritten?

  • Can the cleaned result be reconciled to the raw row count and keys?
