I’m logging around 9,500 KPH on 10‑key and batch about 1,200 rows/hour, but I want tighter validation without slowing down. Has anyone taken a 4–8 hour class or cert (MOS Excel, OpenRefine, or similar) that measurably improved your error catch rate?
OpenRefine, or similar) that measurably improved your error catch rate? A 6‑hour Power Query bootcamp bumped my catches about 20% without slowing — built a Merge to a reference list and a conditional column to flag out‑of‑range codes, so I paste, 10‑key as usual, then scan only the reds; do you have Power Query in your Excel build?
My take: I’d lean toward the simplest next step and see if it changes anything this week — if not, you’ve got a clear case to escalate. What would block you from trying that?
