Excel, Database & Text Solutions
Excel

EXCEL etc

For anything you need to do with your tabular data

You can't achieve technically what you want to? You don't have the time for it? Always the same cumbersome task that you need to execute over and over again...

1. No doubt, it's time to let the extremely powerful data functionalities of big databases do the work for you!

2. Provide me your file(s) and instruct me what you need to do with your data (formats: Excel, csv, xml, json,...)

3. Responsive and personalised service in English, if desired, I can come on-site (ask for the prices) to discuss what can and needs to be done, or even to assist with IT-related tasks like e.g. the export/import of data

Some examples of Excel solutions: you need to ...

  • import into your system, each time with the same adaptations to be made:

     - the product files you get periodically from your suppliers

     - the export files from your old system when moving to a new one

example of conversion of the product files you get periodically from your suppliers
  • switch columns to rows

  • combine 2 or more Excel files based on a common column

  • split 1 column in different columns

  • combine columns: B+D+A => A

  • apply extremely powerful search & replace functionalities
