Do you import data into Excel from other sources (such as CSV files, text files, web pages, databases, or SharePoint)?
Does the data that you import need to be "cleaned" before it can be used? (cleaning refers to things like removing duplicate rows, removing blank rows, removing unnecessary columns, converting cases, changing date formats, and more).
Do you spend more time than necessary performing data cleaning tasks?
