Operational reporting and analytics that show what needs attention next.

A report should answer a real operating question.

Teams often have plenty of data and still cannot get a quick answer. The source files use different identifiers, formulas have been copied for years, or the final workbook shows totals without showing which records need attention.

I work backward from the question the team is trying to answer, then build the cleanup, reconciliation, and checks needed to answer it consistently.

What I build into the reporting process

• Repeatable cleanup for incoming exports and spreadsheets.
• Checks for missing records, duplicate IDs, and unexpected values.
• Reconciliation between source totals and reported totals.
• Exception lists with enough detail for someone to act on them.
• Formulas and workbook structure another person can follow.

Put the exceptions where people can see them.

A polished summary is not enough if it hides the records behind the number. I prefer reports that let a manager see the total and let the person doing the work find the exact rows that created it.

Make the next reporting cycle easier.

Inputs, assumptions, and formulas should be understandable after handoff. The goal is not a workbook that only its creator can update.
