GridManager β€” Stop wasting hours cleaning Excel data manually

byβ€’

Hey Product Hunter! πŸ‘‹

I built GridManager because I kept seeing the same problem everywhere β€” people spending hours every week doing the exact same manual work in Excel: fixing column names, removing duplicates, cleaning messy formats, reordering data.

Not because they wanted to. Because they had no alternative.

So I built one.

GridManager is a free Excel add-in (Office.js) that lets you:

  • Reorder columns without copy-pasting

  • Set validation rules that stick, keyed by column name

  • Clean and normalize messy data in one click

  • Save and replay your cleanup steps across different files

No macros. No VBA. No coding at all.

It works directly inside Microsoft Excel β€” just install it from the add-in store and you're ready in 60 seconds.

Why free? Because the people who need this most β€” small teams, operations managers, analysts at SMBs β€” are exactly the people who can't justify paying for another tool. I wanted to remove every barrier.

I'd love your honest feedback. What would make this actually useful for your workflow?

Hey Federico! Really cool seeing someone else tackle data cleaning - it's such a painful problem. I'm working on something similar with Datrix, but taking a different angle: cleaning data from any source (APIs, databases, CSVs, not just Excel). Would love to chat about what pain points you're hearing from users. Are people asking for support beyond Excel files?
