Hello, there! My name is Florian.

My friends and colleagues have always regarded me as the “Excel and Office go-to person”.  As a working professional, first in Engineering then in Finance, I was always researching and studying these tools to try to get the most out of them. I have professionally been developing Excel VBA tools for several years. What began as a personal mean to structure data and automate tasks in Excel to make faster and smarter decisions, slowly evolved into what you see here today. Microsoft Excel & Office VBA Automation is now my core expertise.

I’m located in Melbourne, Australia, but I deliver my services all across the globe. Thank you Internet   I believe in strongly qualitative, added-value services. I never lose focus on my costumers’ needs. With that said, I maintain an open live chat channel to discuss and negotiate rates, based on your specific projects and goals. What makes you happy, makes me happy, too!

FixMySpreadsheet.Livet is driven by a single purpose, to optimize your company resources to help you make better decisions and, ultimately, take care of what really matters. With Excel and Office in general, time better spent equals a greater quality of life and job productivity. Allow me to show you the ropes.

What I Do?

I offer several Office and Excel-related business solutions including Excel Automation, VBA and SQL coding, Macro Development, Automated Reports & Excel Dashboard, Excel Modeling, Automated Data Cleaning, and a complete and comprehensive tailored VBA solutions. Interested in any of these solutions? Check them out right below:

Excel Automation

Microsoft Excel is extremely underrated within the business world. Its potential is rarely achieved and most companies just use this tool as a spreadsheet to input some numbers and do some basic math. However, when fully unleashed, Excel can become a titan in your aid. Simple steps like Excel Automation can help your company save tens (or even hundreds) of hours by eliminating certain manual processes and increasing your overall employee productivity. Additionally, Excel Automation reduces the risks of human error, has a faster turn-around time, and frees your employees and managers to focus on high-level tasks.

Microsoft Excel VBA & SQL Coding

Basically, all automation processes done in Excel involve some kind of VBA coding – which stands for Visual Basic for Applications. Although VBA is not a relatively new programming language, it remains a very powerful and viable option when it comes to automated processes, especially those within Microsoft Apps, such as Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and so on. Not only that but when paired and connected with external sources, such as databases, a few lines of SQL coding can increase your reporting potential and show you all the information necessary to make smarter business decisions. And by the way, implementing SQL solutions without databases just using Excel is also doable! Yes, we can use SQL within your Excel spreadsheet without using any external databases.

Macro Development

For those unfamiliar with Excel Macros, they are a set of actions that you can execute as many times as necessary. Basically, a macro is a recording of your mouse clicks and keystrokes. The Macro Recorder allows you to automate some simpler, smaller tasks without the need for any coding experience. Think of macros as training wheels, and VBA coding as riding a bike without them. We can help you with this training to get you introduced to Excel Automation and you’ll be coding VBA in no time!

Automated Reports

You can get access to fully automated reports with some simple lines of SQL coding and following some easy steps to connect your spreadsheets with external databases. Those days of endless sheets on different reports and having to underline and highlight pieces of data from all over the place are over. Sensible data turns to information, information turns to knowledge. But knowledge turns to wisdom! Less time gathering data, and more time focusing on intelligent information.

Excel Modeling

Have you ever considered the possibility of making educated estimates and predictions based on a simple set of input data? By developing some Excel Models such as 3-Way Statements, Cost/Revenues Analysis, or Automatic Variances Breakdown, your company can think ahead of their time and transform raw data into probable predictions for the future. By considering what the possible outcomes are, you can prepare yourself and your employees to face what is yet to come, and by that time, you will all be armed and ready to grab the bull by its horns.

Excel Data Cleaning

When dealing with automated processes, it is vital to verify that all the data is properly set for the codes to work correctly. But of course, human input will always be prone to some margin of error. Extra spaces, duplicates, numbers stored as plain text, highlighting errors, upper and lower case dissonance, data parsing, and of course, the infamous spell check. There are simple and effective ways to perform data cleaning from within, purging the data and making it ready to be processed and turned into money – that is, information.

Microsoft Office Automation

Since you have come this far, have you noticed the vast power hidden within Microsoft Excel? Now imagine all these potential, connected into one single suite. Automated e-mail sending, data processing and transferring, etc. There are endless possibilities when talking about an automated solution integrated within the Office Suite. Neither Microsoft Excel nor Microsoft Office is dead. On the contrary, with help from FixMySpreasheet, you can turn these tools into cost-savings solutions for your company.
