Visual Basic for Applications, aka VBA is the code that automates Microsoft Excel.
Try that in Google Sheets.
If you use Microsoft Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access or SQL, and if you are not integrating and automating those applications with Microsoft Excel, ask yourself why. There is a huge savings in time and money if you do. And you do that with Microsoft VBA programming (Visual Basic for Applications).
The Real Power of Excel is in VBA (Macros): Excel VBA will allow you to take the manual process and automate them. That is the real power of Microsoft Excel, that is what our Excel and Access consultants do best. Take the user out of the process, out of the equation, let the computer do the heavy lifting.

An Excel tracker is basically a simple list of like items that can be monitored. Examples of what custom Excel trackers might track are items such as sales, clients, or certification dates.
Trackers fit one specific purpose, they give you a single location where you can track, find, update the data of interest. These are often called “Master Lists”. Chances are your organization has many trackers based in some sort of software application.
Trackers can be ultra-simple, with as little as one tab on the workbook. Or trackers can be excessively complicated, many times, many UserForms, with a lot of VBA programming. What our consultants would put in your custom Excel tracker would be determined by your exact needs, not ours.

Client Feedback on our Excel and Access Programming and Training Services
FAQ:
How do I know if I am hiring an expert Excel consultancy, or an independent freelancer?
Look at their website. Does the site belong to a company, one that you can call on the phone, right now, one where you can speak with the owner? Or are you on a freelancer website where the site owner will not speak with you, does not know who you are, and is there primarily to take a parentage fee off of the freelancer using their website for marketing. Who are you really working with?
That is the real difference; the “company” is there to personally assist you, from start to finish, to make sure your project is a success, and the frelancer site is there to take a fee for work they had no hand in performing, or even monitoring. We own the business, we are here to work directly with you, you work with us from the moment you reach out until the very end.
With a freelancer site, if your project fails you may not have to pay, but you also have a failed project, wasted time, and now you have to start your search all over. But it is a failed project.
We support all of our work: We guarantee the success of your project with us..
How do you find a quality Excel consultancy that will exceed your expectations?
You need to look for a firm that has been in existence for at least 15-20 years. A firm that has a long track record of proven public success (Online reviews), with a large, well known client base. You should recognize many of the names and logos of the clients they work with. Sure, most companies work with a lot of smaller, unheard-of companies as well, but they should also have a list of well-known organizations, with testimonials from those organizations. How many projects they have worked on? Should be in the thousands. Look for a lot of very good and honest testimonials, on Google, LinkedIn, and their website. If they are worth hiring, these things will tell you that.
Business Reviews matter, they tell the tale of who you are considering hiring.
Make sure to see examples of their work, in a live Zoom call, so you can get a very good feel for what you expect to receive. A good consultancy will spend 45-minutes, no charge, in a Zoom call with you, going over your files, showing examples of their Excel work, and just talking about what your solution will look and feel like, else you are throwing darts in the dark and you have no idea of what you will ultimately get. Avoid surprises. Do the legwork up front.
Look for Microsoft Certification, work with Microsoft certified Excel MVP’s, and a Microsoft Certified Partner, learn more about us.
We offer free consultations, and we use Zoom to discuss your needs and files live. Call us today, we are standing by. 877-392-3539.
10-Tips when hiring an Excel consultant.
Why work with an Excel consultancy that can provide both programming and training services?
Very often you will need to combine our Excel programming and Excel training services, to get the exact solution you need. For example, say you are not yet at the level where you can build your own custom Excel workbook, but you will need to know how to make changes to it, for work.
In that case we can build it for you, and then we can also provide the training needed, to teach you how to make programming changes to the Excel workbook. If you work with a firm such as ours, that offers both services, you can work with one firm, one consultant, and you can have all of your needs met.
Do we support our clients and our projects?
We guarantee our work, we have since we incorporated in 2004. We offer a life-time bug free guarantee. We also guarantee our work to do what we said it would do. What you see in the sow is what you will see when you open the file, no surprises.
The last time we had to give a refund was three years ago, for a one-hour project. From what clients tell me, the freelancer sites give refunds all the time. We get a lot of clients that had previously worked with the freelancer sites, and now they work with us. If you want a refund, work with a freelancer site; if you want a 5-Star solution, work with us.
How do you know what type of solution you will receive?
Get it in writing; get a formal Statement of Work.
Based on your Zoom calls, emails, and the statement of work, you should have a very clear idea of the exact solution you will receive, as well as a very good idea of how it will look and feel. It is very important that you know in advance, what to expect, so that there are no surprises.
You don’t like surprises, our company does not like surprises and the Excel consultant working with you does not like surprises. As such, we are very detailed and clear up front, as well as each step of the way. That is a Smarter Microsoft Solution, a 5-Star solution.
Expect to be an active member of your project, with lots of communication with us, each step of the way. No surprises.
Who do our Excel Consultants work with:
When we are hired to start a new Excel project, be it programming or training, we most often work with the people listed below. Persons in those positions usually work in Excel on a daily basis, so when we are hired, these are the people our consultants get to help.
