Most spreadsheet cleanup work is not really an Excel problem. It is an extraction and review problem.

A team receives a PDF price list, an invoice packet, a screenshot from a dashboard, an email order, or a pasted block of OCR text. Someone then has to decide what the columns should be, copy values into rows, fix inconsistent labels, and export a table that other people can trust.

The useful workflow is usually smaller than a full data platform:

Accept messy source material

Define the target columns in plain language
