I have a collection of text-based records that must be transferred accurately into Excel and then processed with a short Python routine. Everything will be keyed in manually—no web scraping or database pulls—so precision and an eye for detail are critical. The spreadsheet should come back tidy, well-formatted, and ready for basic filtering or pivoting. Once the sheet is complete, I’d like a lightweight Python script (pandas / openpyxl are fine) that reads the file, performs simple cleaning steps I’ll specify, and exports an updated version. If any numeric fields appear along the way, just include them exactly as the client supplies; no additional analysis is required. Deliverables • Finished Excel workbook with all text data correctly entered • Python script (.py) that loads the workbook, applies the cleaning rules, and saves the result That’s the full scope—straightforward data entry paired with a reusable automation script.
