  • The source already looks like the table you want.
  • You only need a quick one-off extraction.
  • You do not need saved field rules for repeat work.

Choose Messy2Sheet when

  • You need named business columns, not just a raw table.
  • You want to review uncertain values before export.
  • You repeat the same cleanup and want to save it as a workflow.
