Fix the logic.
Investigate broken references, totals, lookup issues or unexpected results. Scope the affected formulas and the examples that define a correct answer.
THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF CARTAVYA
Less spreadsheet
friction. More
“that makes sense.”
A formula that needs attention. A list that needs tidying. A workbook that has become difficult to use. Start with the problem; we will agree on a focused way forward.
| item | amt | status |
|---|---|---|
| VENUE | “20000” | done? |
| food / catering | 15000 | advance 5000 |
| decor | not decided | — |
| Total | #VALUE! | Unclear |
Mixed formats and incomplete values make this example difficult to review.
| Category | Planned | Paid |
|---|---|---|
| Venue | ₹20,000 | ₹20,000 |
| Catering | ₹15,000 | ₹5,000 |
| Décor | Not set | ₹0 |
| Known total | ₹35,000 | ₹25,000 |
Consistent labels. Numeric amounts. Missing costs clearly flagged.
Illustrative comparison, not a customer result. Your scope follows a file review.
MAKE THE WORKBOOK WORK FOR YOU
A clearer sheet.
A more useful handover.
Clean up the detail.
Standardise labels and formats, identify duplicates, and structure the information so it is easier to filter and review.
Make it easier to use.
Clear input areas, sensible headings, validation and a small summary where useful. Explain what changed so you can continue confidently.
A FOCUSED SCOPE BEATS A VAGUE PROMISE
First, show us
what “right” means.
Describe the issue, the software you use and one example of the result you expect. A redacted copy may follow once the sharing method is agreed.
- Keep your untouched original as a backup
- Remove names, account details and other sensitive data
- Include the affected formulas and a representative example
- Tell us about macros, external links and protected sheets
YOUR HANDOVER CAN INCLUDE
The workbook.
The checks.
The explanation.
- A separate corrected workbook in the agreed format
- A concise change log and usage notes
- Agreed test cases and known limitations
- A walkthrough note for important inputs and formulas
Not included by default: live database connections, macros, unattended automation, large migrations, regulated financial advice or guarantees about business decisions.
BEFORE SHARING A FILE
A little clarity
goes a long way.
Do you work with Excel and Google Sheets?
Tell us your app and version before sending a file. The scope will identify the supported environment. A workbook working in Excel does not automatically mean every formula or feature works identically in Google Sheets or on mobile.
Can you promise to fix any spreadsheet?
No. We first check the workbook, the issue and the expected result. Corrupt files, inaccessible sources, unsupported functions or undocumented macros may limit what is possible.
How is the price decided?
After reviewing the issue and an authorised sample, we agree on the affected sheets, changes, validation checks, turnaround and revision boundary. Extra requirements are quoted before extra work begins.
Will my data stay private?
There is no public uploader on this website. Use a redacted sample and agree on a private sharing method. Do not send passwords, live customer records or unnecessary personal information in the first enquiry.
Is a repaired spreadsheet financial advice?
No. The work concerns workbook structure and calculation behaviour within an agreed scope. You remain responsible for the source data, assumptions and decisions made using the file.
LET’S MAKE SOMETHING THOUGHTFUL
Tell us where the spreadsheet gets stuck.
A description of the issue is enough for the first conversation.
