What usually goes wrong with it

  • Headers not on the first row

    Many Excel exports start with title rows or notes before the actual column headers, causing formulas and tools to misread data.

    DataMimi DataMimi reads Excel files with headers not on row 1 and guides you to set the correct header row before analysis.

  • Numbers stored as text

    Sales, costs, and quantities often appear as text, preventing calculations and summaries from working correctly.

    DataMimi It spots numbers stored as text and shows how to convert them with a preview before applying changes.

  • Merged cells in header rows

    Merged cells for section titles break data parsing and sorting functions, making automated analysis difficult.

    DataMimi The assistant finds merged header cells and advises on unmerging or recreating headers for better data handling.

  • Subtotal and total rows included

    Excel exports sometimes contain subtotal or grand total rows that skew sums and averages if not removed.

    DataMimi It identifies subtotal and total rows and helps you filter or remove them to avoid calculation errors.

  • Inconsistent date formats

    Date columns may mix formats (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY), causing errors in time-based analysis.

    DataMimi DataMimi detects mixed date formats and guides you to standardize them for consistent time-based reporting.
