Repeatable analysis instead of one-off reporting

Schematic: four separate spreadsheet files flow into a Power Query and SQL step with data checks, which produces a refreshed report.

The problem

Recurring reports often depend on copied files, broken references and inconsistent definitions. Each cycle starts with repair work before any analysis can begin.

The approach

  • External workbook dependencies converted into refreshable Power Query flows.
  • Business logic isolated with SQL and structured formulas so it can be read and audited.
  • Checks for invalid dates, duplicates and missing identifiers before numbers reach the report.
  • Assumptions documented so the analysis can be reused by someone else.

What it changes

  • Less manual preparation each cycle.
  • Refreshes that don’t break.
  • Calculations anyone can audit.
