FLUID Excel Solutions

We design business solutions in Excel 365 with Power Query at the center

Instead of building one cell at a time, we work with Excel Tables, Power Query, the Data Model, Dynamic Arrays, Pivot Tables, relationships, databases, and automation. The tools depend on the requirement.

The goal is simple: connect the data, build the process, and reduce the work the user has to do.

What Our Clients Say

Christy W. · Google Review · ★★★★★

Christopher, Bob, and Maria are the epitome of true professionals. Christopher and Bob assisted me with separate projects and understood exactly what I needed assistance with. Both asked great questions and shared their ideas and ended up taking what I wanted a step further and I ended up with an even better result.

If you are looking for a creative or innovative way to simplify or create something in excel for business or personal needs, you will not be disappointed. I was very impressed and am glad they shared their ideas because they were things I would have never thought of. It is like they were able to read my mind but take my idea and make it even better.

The customer service and turnaround time is just as impressive. I also appreciated that they followed up to ensure the file is working exactly how I wanted to see if I had any additional questions. I also learned that they offer training if there are any functions you struggle with in excel or would like to learn.

Overall, on a scale of 1-10, I would rate them an 11.

Our experience with Excel and Access. LLC was excellent. Chris and his team of very skilled professionals were able to help us out immediately. After just a brief discussion of the project we hired them for, they completed the work and exceeded our expectations in just hours. I have used Chris and his team on numerous projects over the span of 10 years. I am consistently impressed with how quick the payback is, and how well his team understands my requirements and delivers a product that exceeds my expectations. His team is always available anytime of day or night to help or answer questions.

I had an Excel problem that I could not crack without extreme effort on my part. I contacted Excel and Access via email. I received a prompt response then described my problem and indicated that I really wanted to remunerate them for their (Christopher and Jacob) time and effort. They honed in on my problem description with only 2 very helpful emails that showed me how to solve my problem. I was very impressed and grateful. There was never a mention of any charges. They are consummate professionals. I can see why they are Microsoft MVP's.

I had the pleasure of working with Excel & Access on a very intricate Excel project involving a massive spreadsheet that housed years’ worth of data. After having two other firms take on the project and then bail, I was panicked and desperate to get the project completed in what was now a very tight time frame. I worked with Christopher and Jacob and couldn’t be more delighted with the level of customer service I received. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable, and also incredibly responsive. My e-mails were answered immediately and the project was completed quickly, ahead of my deadline, thanks to his working nights and even over the weekend to get it done. I felt as if I were the only client he was working with at the time! Jacob made a difficult, tedious assignment look like child’s play. Excel & Access are fabulous to work with and are now my go-to for any Excel need, large or small. Good customer service is difficult to come by, but they nail it! If you are looking for help with an Excel project, I recommend Excel & Access without reservation. You won’t be disappointed.

Jacob was fantastic to work with. I was tasked with developing an easy way to track our Corporate Training across all departments and positions based on company requirements and hire date. I knew there had to be a way to do it in Excel with formulas, but it was way above my skill set. I contacted Excel and Access, and they listened to my needs and paired me with Jacob. He was very responsive and was quickly able to come up with precisely what I needed. He was great at making the necessary tweaks, including creating a “GENERATE” button in bright red so that I couldn’t miss it. I can now run all of my reports with all of my different conditions with the click of that big beautiful red GENERATE button. I will definitely reach out to Excel and Access and Jacob for my future needs.

I arranged for two 1.5 hour sessions on Microsoft Excel Tips and Tricks sessions for my organization in January 2021. I am 100% satisfied with the service. Chris and Maria were very responsive to my initial inquiries and helping me with setting up the virtual sessions. This company provide consulting services on various applications and I liked how I was able to customize my sessions by selecting the tips and tricks to be shared- it was 100% customizable.Our trainer, Bob Umlas, was superb in the delivery of both sessions. He provided an Excel workbook and shared his screen to show all the tips and tricks on how to use Excel more efficiently. The sessions were also recorded so that staff could rewatch the lessons again at a later date. Overall I was very please with the company's services and would work with this company again should future opportunities arise.

I'm not Pepsi, Amazon or any of their big clients...just a guy with a small, boutique private psychology practice 3,000 miles away in NY. Every time I need these guys they are there...got my project started ASAP, turn around time was amazing and best of all, any and all tweaks were handled ASAP until we got all the bugs out. Admittedly I was afraid we'd settle on a price and I might not be able to make edits. But no worries - each and every edit, debug done with a virtual smile and ASAP. Well worth the money and they won't disappoint. A pleasure to write a positive review for them!

— Mark Proctor, Excel Off The Grid

This is my personal recommendation for the team of Microsoft Excel and Access experts. They are detail-oriented professionals who have very quick solutions for complex Access VBA, Excel VBA and SQL projects. I contacted Excel and Access at 9.30PM on a Sunday evening with a critical need. I received a replied within minutes leting me know a Microsoft Excel MVP would reach out to help. I asked for an Excel VBA Solution and they quickly delivered the workbook.

M. Daracz, Prarie Construction
Excel and Access performed superb work while supporting our business planning process. The team helped create a fully integrated planning tool and subsequent rollups which helped us manage our business effectively. Also, Excel and Access fixed a project that a prior consultant did not complete according to specifications. I would highly recommend this company for any work needed in Excel & Access. Quick, accurate, and reliable! Great results, on time, and integrity!
R. Conway, Red Bull
I highly recommend this company for Excel training. I’ve used them to conduct training classes at Charles R. Drew University and it was very informative. All my employees improved their skills, even the most advance user learned new skills with Excel as the instructor was a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) awardee. I have found the MVPs to be the best of the best in Excel as I soon learned that for Microsoft Excel that there are only 125 in the entire world.
J. Geraghty, Charles R. Drew Univeristy
It was great to have someone be excited to help me as both the the team at Excel and Access. The prompt replies, polite telephone conversations, and ease of use were second to none. The speed and expertise of this company is amazing. I initially emailed three Excel consultant companies, Excel and Access contacted me at once, the developer helped me, and no other company has even responded yet. And as for the developer, he makes this stuff look so easy.
M. Johnson, Rugged Cross Construction
Excel and Access, it’s quality and level of work are all phenomenal. We enjoyed our engagement with them on a special project. They were flexible, nimble and able to meet our very high standards, requirements and tight deadlines. They were available and met the deadlines comfortably. We would hire them again if need arises. They care about their clients and made sure we were satisfied with the completed work. I would recommend their work to anyone.
M. Kim, LinkedIn
I want to thank you for providing me with such a great training experience. I was quite impressed with your quick response to accommodate the Advanced Excel VBA Programming training on such short notice. It was a pleasure to work with my instructor. He explained concepts and solutions to problems in detail and made sure I understood them before moving on to new topics. The training conducted via webinar made my training experience quite comfortable.
A. Barbaras, US Social Security
It has been a pleasure working with the Excel and Access, which is a very Professional, Reliable, Top Notch firm that delivers on what they promise and when they promise it. They have already completed a few projects for an important client of mine and the clients are so happy with their work that we have also been awarded future projects. Together we have been able to maintain happy customers and I am looking forward to growing and maintaining a fruitful relationship.
S. Solis, Tricade
I worked closely with Excel and Access during my tenure at Kaiser Permanente. We worked together on multiple projects using Microsoft Access, Excel and SQL Server. I was particularly impressed with their technical knowledge and ability to automate and integrate Microsoft Access and Excel using VBA. I would work with Excel and Access again without reservation, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs Excel or Access consulting or programming work done!
D. Buckley, Kaiser Permanente
We outsourced a recent project to Excel and Access and the results were tremendous. This was a program we initially developed in-house; however, its functionality was becoming outdated. This product is distributed in over 80 countries and so we are especially sensitive to it being both robust in the application and simple in its usability. The Excel and Access team took the time to really understand our goals along with the user’s needs, and worked tirelessly to get it perfect.
