How can I clean my data in Excel?

You can clean your data in Excel by using features like 'Remove Duplicates', 'Text to Columns', and 'Find & Replace'. What specific issues are you facing?

I have a lot of duplicate entries in my dataset.

You can remove duplicates by selecting your data range, going to the 'Data' tab, and clicking on 'Remove Duplicates'. Would you like to know how to identify duplicates first?

Yes, how can I identify duplicates before removing them?

You can use conditional formatting to highlight duplicates. Select your data, go to 'Home' > 'Conditional Formatting' > 'Highlight Cells Rules' > 'Duplicate Values'. This will help you see duplicates before removing them.

That sounds helpful! What about cleaning up text data?

For text data, you can use functions like 'TRIM' to remove extra spaces, 'UPPER' or 'LOWER' to standardize case, and 'SUBSTITUTE' to replace specific text. Would you like examples of these functions?
