Richard W.
Professional VBA Development for Excel and Word
“Simply one of the best freelancers I've worked with on Upwork.” “Richard knocks it out of the park on every project we work on together!” “Top notch work, and an amazing experience as always.” “I cannot emphasize enough just how professional, diligent and thoughtful Richard has been.” Most of my work is with VBA. I particularly specialize in 2 types of job: ➤ Automated production of Word/PDF documents (from custom mail merges to complex multi-template documents). ➤ Connecting to web APIs (including HubSpot, SalesForce, Google, Bing, Quandl, USPTO). My work often includes: ➤ Advanced spreadsheet formulas ➤ VBA add-ins ➤ Data entry forms ➤ Power Query (intermediate level) ➤ User guides and other documentation I aim for a good balance between cost, code quality and processing speed. Please let me know if you would like to prioritize one of these 3 variables. Many VBA freelancers started as Excel users and then taught themselves to program in VBA. I've come from the opposite direction, with a background in software development. This gives me an advantage in building complex VBA programs with well-structured, readable, maintainable code. Sorry, I only work with Windows, not Mac. Please note: my minimum price for a first job is $100. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEYWORDS: Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office, Windows, VBA, Visual Basic, VBScript, macro, scripts, scripting, automation, program, programming, Power Query, PowerQuery, mail merge, mailmerge, merging, merged, template, REST API, web API, VBA-Web, VBA-JSON, workbook, worksheet, spreadsheet, formula, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, efficiency, performant, advanced, complex, expert, guru, wizard.
