Normalize Data - The data is used to prepare data for upload in the Wizard, whether you’ve just denormalized it for sorting or imported the data from an external source with duplicate headers. Normalization will only affect sections that have children with multiple rows of data.
Both functions will affect all the records on the active sheet.
