The challenge

Exports arrive with the same recurring inconsistencies, then consume hours of manual cleanup before anyone can review performance.

01 / Approach
  1. Profile source variations
  2. Create visible transformation steps
  3. Route uncertain records to exceptions
  4. Publish a focused KPI view and refresh guide
02 / Deliverables
  • Input contract
  • Power Query flow
  • Exception table
  • QA checks
  • Dashboard
  • Refresh guide

What the finished solution gives the team

Visible logicImportant transformations and assumptions can be inspected.

Exception pathsUncertain inputs are surfaced instead of silently forced through.

Operable handoffThe owner receives a system they can understand and run.
