Starting next week I will be onboarding data from five new auto-parts vendors, all supplied in Excel workbooks. I need a detail-oriented specialist to move each vendor’s catalog into my master sheet and, while doing so, strip the “Year / Make / Model” text out of every product description. Those three elements must land in their own dedicated Year, Make, and Model columns, leaving the description field free of vehicle-specific data. The source descriptions don’t follow a single template—there are a few recurring patterns, but nothing perfectly consistent—so this is not a simple search-and-replace job. It will take a careful eye (or smart use of Excel functions, Power Query, VBA, or regex-driven tools) to isolate each vehicle reference without damaging the rest of the text. Deliverables • One cleaned, fully populated Excel file per vendor, with the new columns accurately filled and the descriptions trimmed. • A brief log of any rows you’re unsure about so I can review edge cases quickly. Please tell me when you can start, how many hours you can devote in the first week, and your hourly or per-line rate. I’m happy to answer questions or provide sample rows if that helps you estimate the effort.

Hi There, I have strong experience with Excel data cleanup, product catalog migration, Power Query, regex-based parsing, and handling inconsistent product descriptions. I can move each vendor catalog into your master structure, extract Year / Make / Model into separate columns, clean the description field without removing unrelated text, and provide a review log for any ambiguous rows.

Hi there, I understand you need five incoming auto-parts vendor workbooks transformed into clean, consistent Excel catalogs, with the Year, Make, and Model extracted from inconsistent product descriptions and placed into dedicated columns without damaging the remaining product information. I’m confident I can handle the variation across vendors systematically while flagging genuine edge cases for review. My approach is to first profile each vendor’s description patterns, then build a controlled extraction process using Excel Power Query, VBA, formulas and regex-style pattern logic where appropriate. Vehicle references will be separated into Year, Make and Model fields, while the original description is cleaned without losing relevant product details. Vendor-specific patterns will be handled through reusable rules rather than relying on fragile search-and-replace. I’ll validate the cleaned rows against the source workbooks, check extraction accuracy and formatting, and provide a concise exception log containing only records that require your confirmation. Each vendor will receive a fully populated, independently usable Excel file. Could you provide a small sample from each vendor showing the typical description patterns so I can assess the extraction complexity and give you a reliable per-line estimate? I’m ready to start immediately. Warm Regards, Aneesa.

Hi, I can handle the five vendor catalogs using Excel/Power Query and Python/regex where helpful. I’ll extract Year, Make, and Model from the varied descriptions, remove only the vehicle-specific text, and preserve the remaining descriptions accurately. I’ll deliver one cleaned Excel file per vendor plus a short log of uncertain/edge-case rows for review. I can start next week and dedicate 30–40 hours in the first week. I’m happy to review sample rows first and then provide a firm estimate.

Hello Sir, I can handle the five auto-parts vendor workbooks and accurately transfer their catalogs into your required master structure while separating Year, Make, and Model from the product descriptions. ✅ Why Me? ✔ Extensive experience in Excel data processing, automotive product catalogs, data cleaning, product matching, and large-scale spreadsheet management ✔ Strong experience handling inconsistent product descriptions and extracting structured information from semi-structured text ✔ Skilled with Excel formulas, Power Query, VBA, and regex/Python-assisted workflows for repetitive data-processing tasks ✔ Strong attention to detail when working with vehicle fitment information such as Year, Make, and Model ✔ Able to preserve the original product description while removing only the vehicle-specific information that belongs in the dedicated columns ✔ Strong quality-control process for checking extracted fields against the original descriptions ✔ 500+ projects completed | 5.0-star rating I understand that this is not a simple find-and-replace task because the five vendors may use different description patterns. If you provide a small sample from each vendor, I can first establish the extraction logic and confirm the expected Year/Make/Model treatment before processing the full five workbooks.

Hi there, We will clean the five vendor Excel workbooks, split each product description into Year, Make, and Model columns, and return the trimmed descriptions plus a brief exception log for any ambiguous rows. We can also use Excel functions, Power Query, or VBA/regex-style logic where it best preserves the rest of the text. We have public Freelancer review history covering AI adoption, data management and analytical engagements. Could you share one sample vendor sheet so we can confirm the recurring description patterns before we start? This first workstream is limited to data review, quantitative analysis and prioritised findings for Auto Parts Data Cleanup. Broader implementation would be scoped separately on Freelancer.

Hi, I’d be happy to help with this project. I have previously worked on Year / Make / Model-related data projects, including cleaning and separating vehicle information from product descriptions, so I’m familiar with the attention to detail this requires. I can carefully process each vendor’s Excel workbook, extract the Year, Make, and Model into dedicated columns, and clean the descriptions without removing important product information. I can use Excel functions, Power Query, or other suitable methods depending on the patterns in the source data. I’ll also maintain a brief log of any uncertain rows for your review. I can start immediately whenever you want and can commit around 25–30 hours during the first week. My rate is $4/hour (or I can provide a per-line rate once I see a few sample rows). I’m happy to review sample data beforehand so I can confirm the approach and give you a more accurate estimate. Best regards, Karim

The main challenge here is accurately extracting the 'Year / Make / Model' data from inconsistent product descriptions without losing critical information. Given the variability in the source data, a combination of Excel functions and possibly VBA or regex will be essential to ensure precision. I would start by analyzing a few sample rows to identify patterns and then develop a systematic approach to clean each vendor's catalog. This will include creating dedicated columns for Year, Make, and Model while maintaining the integrity of the remaining description. I can start immediately and estimate around 15 hours in the first week to ensure thoroughness in the data processing.

Hi there, I got that you need five auto-parts vendor workbooks cleaned and consolidated, with inconsistent Year/Make/Model references accurately extracted into dedicated columns while keeping descriptions free of vehicle-specific data. This is what I can help you with, let's chat.

I’ll validate extracted fields against the source rows and deliver clean, review-ready workbooks. As final deliverables you will receive one fully cleaned Excel file per vendor, populated Year, Make, Model, and description columns, plus a concise exception log highlighting every uncertain or ambiguous row. I can start next week and dedicate focused hours during the first week based on your volume. Please send a few representative sample rows so I can confirm the extraction logic and give you an accurate hourly or per-line estimate. Regards, Imran S.
