Before: Raw transaction data — inconsistent client names, random formatting, no clear structure. Took forever to make sense of, let alone present.

After: Clean, structured, color-coded sheet — proper headers, sorted by region & department, payment methods standardized, profit margins clearly visible.

What changed it:

Sub CleanAndFormatData() Call StandardizeClientNames Call SortByRegionDepartment Call FormatHeaders Call ApplyColorCoding Call CalculateMargins End Sub

⏱️ A task that used to take 1-2 hours of manual cleanup now runs in seconds.

Data cleaning is one of the most underrated VBA use cases — most people only think automation = formulas, but cleaning + structuring raw data is where it saves the most time.

Drop a 👍 if you deal with messy spreadsheets regularly — happy to share how I approach this.
