Excel spreadsheets design and automation

Most businesses rely heavily on excel spreadsheets for compiling reports, transferring data from one system to another, keeping track of financial and non-financial transactions that you can’t necessarily record in your accounting system. Performing data steps manually over and over again is the old way of doing things.

Using Excel’s advanced functionalities I can;

  • Design macros to automate repetitive spreadsheet tasks.
  • Design new spreadsheets to automate task previously done manually.
  • Design user-forms to streamline data entry to reduce errors.
  • Create and customise reports that you can’t get from your accounting system.
  • Design Pivot tables to provide a customised report.

Spreadsheets are a highly useful and efficient tool, which if used correctly can deliver huge efficiencies and help reduce costs.
