Standardizing product categories
Many sellers need to normalize product category names across different marketplaces. Using find and replace, you can automatically update variations like "Home & Kitchen" to "Home and Kitchen" or "Electronics & Accessories" to "Electronics" for consistent reporting.
Currency symbol cleanup
When dealing with international marketplace data, currency symbols might appear inconsistently. Create rules to standardize all currency representations, replacing "USD$" with "$" or "€EUR" with "€" for cleaner financial reporting.
SKU normalization
Product SKUs sometimes contain inconsistent formatting. Set up find and replace rules to standardize SKU formats, such as converting "SKU-123" to "SKU123" or adding leading zeros to maintain consistent length across all codes.
