Data Entry
I offer data entry services. Data is normally typed into Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access, and is charged on a per line basis. The charge per line is dependent upon the number of fields/cells to be typed into per line. Please call me or email and I will provide you with a quote. Data can be scanned and emailed to me, sent in the post or couriered.
I type simple names, addresses and contact details. It is extremely important that I am consistent with my data entry text, to ensure this please adhere to the following:
Check for person's title. If no title is given then I will check this against the name and gender. The Title i.e. Mr, Mrs, Miss will either have a dot or not, whichever the client prefers. If the respondent is a female and no title is given I will enter Ms.
Where a name is present. If a name is missing I will highlight this cell in yellow and this apply to any other missing information.
If I am working from handwritten text and a word is illegible, I will enter what I believe it to read and highlight the text in red so the client can check it.
I check email addresses for valid characters i.e. emails must contain the @ sign and either have .co.uk, .com, .org etc at the end.
Addresses are usually in putted into separate cells for each line of address so that they are usable in a mail merge. If parts of an address are missing I will endeavour to fill this in by using Muli Map or the Royal Postcode Finder.
I check telephone numbers have the correct amount of digits and that they read in a consistent form.
Multiple choice: I check that only the required boxes have been filled in. We check with the client which symbol they wish to use as a tick i.e. an 'X' or a tick.
