Creating Clean, Structured Data for Analysis and Reporting

Teams often receive raw data exports that don’t align with the reporting or analysis formats they need. Magic Table helps analysts and managers transform any Excel/CSV file into a consistent, predefined structure for easy visualization or import into BI tools.

1. Aligning raw data with reporting templates

Challenge: Sales, marketing, and finance teams export data in different column structures, making consolidation impossible.

Magic Table Solution: Select a reporting template — for example, “Monthly Sales Summary” — and map columns from your files (e.g., “Sales Date” → “date”, “Net Value” → “revenue”).

Example:
Format monthly exports from 3 marketplaces into a single Power BI-compatible template.

Benefits:

  • No need for manual column renaming.

  • Immediate compatibility with dashboards.

  • Saves hours of spreadsheet formatting.

 

2. Structuring supplier or customer data

Challenge: Supplier or customer exports often use inconsistent field names.

Magic Table Solution:
Choose your preferred structure and align each file to match.

Example:
Map “Customer Name”, “Client”, and “Buyer” columns from different sources into a unified “Customer_Name” field.

Benefits:

  • Consistent datasets across departments.

  • Ready-to-analyze tables.

  • Easier imports into CRMs or ERPs.

3. Preparing data for analysis tools

Challenge: Analysts waste time cleaning data before importing it into Power BI, Tableau, or Google Sheets.

Magic Table Solution:
Reformat any dataset according to a BI-friendly structure — including standardized headers and consistent ordering.

Example:
Transform Excel exports from different sales systems into a single, analytics-ready structure.

Benefits:

  • Clean data for faster insights.

  • Reusable templates for recurring reports.

  • Zero risk of broken formulas or column mismatch.
