MULTI-FILE SPREADSHEET IMPORT · Workflow idea

Bring a folder of subscriber files into one clean list.

When subscriber information arrives in several CSV files, gather the files and prepare their records for a shared spreadsheet. Keep the source filename, remove repeated names, retain the selected subscribed records, and sort them by subscription date before adding or updating the list.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Several CSV files containing subscriber records that belong in one shared spreadsheet

“Review each selected file, keep its source name, remove repeated people, retain subscribed records, sort by subscription date, and add or update the matching spreadsheet rows.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team combine subscriber records from multiple files and keep the shared spreadsheet current without reviewing every row manually.

  1. Choose the CSV files to include

    Confirm which files belong to the subscriber update and retain each original filename for reference.

  2. Review the file columns and subscriber details

    Check that the records have the expected names, subscription status, and date information.

  3. Remove repeated subscriber entries

    Identify likely duplicate names and ask a person to resolve cases where the same name may belong to different people.

  4. Keep the records that meet the subscription rule

    Retain entries marked as subscribed and set aside records that do not meet the team’s stated criteria.

  5. Sort and update the shared list

    Order eligible records by subscription date and update an existing person’s row or add a new one.

  6. Check the combined result

    Review the resulting list, including its source filenames, before teammates use it for follow-up or reporting.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A consolidated spreadsheet list of unique subscribed people, ordered by subscription date and traceable to the source file for review.

Keep in mind

A name alone may not identify a person reliably, and a status value may be inconsistent. Review likely duplicates, confirm the intended subscription criteria, and check a sample of additions and updates before relying on the combined list.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the file collection and spreadsheet

Select the folder of approved CSV files and the shared spreadsheet where the combined records belong.

Agree on identity and subscription rules

Decide how to recognize the same person, interpret subscription status, and handle missing dates.

Set the update and sorting expectations

Confirm which spreadsheet fields may be updated and how subscribed records should be ordered.

Test duplicate and status examples

Review a small sample with repeated names, existing spreadsheet entries, and different subscription statuses.
