Need Excel + Power Query Expert for Inventory Dashboard (Pen Drive Based System) Project Overview: I run a manufacturing business and maintain stock in multiple Excel files (7–10 files), each for different categories like motors, inverters, pumps, etc. These files are stored in a folder on a pen drive. I need a simple, reliable system to view consolidated stock in one place without manually opening multiple files. Constraints (VERY IMPORTANT): * All files will remain on a pen drive (no cloud solutions like OneDrive or Google Drive) * Folder path will remain fixed (example: E:\Stock_Files) * I will only open ONE master Excel file (no need to open individual files) * System must work offline * Must be simple to use (non-technical staff) Requirements: 1. Use Power Query (“From Folder”) to automatically combine all Excel files in the folder 2. Standardize data into columns: * Item Type * Item Name * Size, Brand, * Stock Quantity . Clean and transform inconsistent formats across files . Replace blank/null stock values with 0 . Create a clear dashboard view: * Table or Pivot Table * Filters for Item Type and Size . Enable auto-refresh: * Data refresh when file is opened * Optional: refresh every 1–5 minutes 8. File should NOT break if: * New files are added to folder * Existing files are updated 9. Keep solution lightweight (no macros unless absolutely necessary) Deliverables: * Final Excel file ([login to view URL]) – ready to use * Power Query properly configured * 1-page instruction guide (very simple) * Optional: basic color indicators (low stock, zero stock) Nice to Have (optional, if easy): * Simple QR code or shortcut method to open master file quickly on system * Clean, professional layout What I will provide: * All sample Excel files * List of all item categories * Example of sizes Goal: A plug-and-play system where I just insert pen drive, open one Excel file, and see latest stock instantly. Can get on a call for clarity. Timeline: Prefer quick turnaround (2-5 days)

‼️ONLY PAY WHEN YOU’RE 100% HAPPY‼️ I see you need a seamless, offline Power Query solution that consolidates multiple category files from a fixed pen drive folder into one master Excel file—key for fast, reliable stock visibility without manual file handling. I’ll set up a robust “From Folder” query that cleans data inconsistencies, fills blanks with zeros, and builds a lightweight dashboard with filters and auto-refresh on open. The system will auto-adapt when files are added or updated, keeping things simple for non-technical users. While I’m new to Freelancer, I’ve done similar offline inventory dashboards that deliver exactly this plug-and-play ease and clarity. Let’s chat! Worst case, you get a free consultation and real insight. Pietie Lubbe

Hello! I have read your requirements carefully, and I can build this consolidated stock system using Power Query as the core engine. Since your files are on a Pen Drive, I will implement a dynamic file path solution so the system won't break if the drive letter (E:, F:, G:) changes on different computers. My plan for your project: Robust Data Cleaning: I will set up Power Query to automatically handle nulls, standardize columns (Item Type, Size, Brand), and merge all 7–10 files instantly. Zero-Maintenance: You only need to add new files to the folder or update existing ones—the Master file will handle the rest upon opening. Non-Technical Dashboard: I will create a clean UI with visual Slicers (filters) and Conditional Formatting to highlight low/zero stock.
