Clean the surveyor's coordinates and labels into separate columns ready for import: split text to columns, trim extra spaces, normalize number formats and output X, Y, elevation and clean label columns so contours will align in the drawing.

Produce an import-ready coordinate sheet the CAD lead will accept — run Power Query to split and trim fields, standardize decimal separators and coordinate order, remove stray characters from labels, and produce a final clean table with preview rows so contours line up on first import.

The real tasks

7 of them
Turn the surveyor's messy coordinates and labels into clean columns I can bring into the drawing so contours line up.
Build the ETL flow that trims, splits, and merges raw market files into a single table I can analyze every month.
Build a reproducible workflow that cleans incoming remote-sensing tables and reshapes them into the project schema I use for drafting maps.
Write a macro or script that standardises incoming species lists into our codes and flags unexpected taxa for expert review.
Turn raw test bench readings into a clean column of voltages and currents so I can compare runs without manual cleanup.
Break pasted product descriptions into columns for brand, colour, size and finish so I can filter and compare options quickly.
Turn raw site survey spreadsheets into a clean inventory of trees, hardscape, and utilities so I can see what can stay or must move.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Excel — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
