I'm an Excel VBA Developer specializing in AI-powered automation systems that eliminate manual, repetitive spreadsheet work and turn it into a single button click.

"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra." ~ Jimmy Johnson My past clients include PhDs, CEOs, Company Founders, and otherwise those at the top of their respective expertise. With industries ranging from veterinarian training, oil drilling, special education, law, wealth management, and language translation to name a few. In scope, these projects have spanned from small personal budgets to revenue calculations for the world-class Waldorf Astoria hotel. Regardless of circumstance, my primary goal is to bring your ideas to life in Excel while demonstrating the promptness and respect you deserve. To provide both the technical knowledge to complete a project and the ability to explain it in simple terms is what I have done best for over 7 years. During a project, I act as the sole point of contact. My corporate background includes J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., BlackRock Inc., and Wells Fargo & Company. My education includes a Bachelorโ€™s in Finance from the University of Delaware and an Excel certification from Microsoft. Common projects include dashboards, cost estimators, and time trackers. I place a high emphasis on communication and will take the time to be sure that you are content with all aspects of a project before closing. When necessary, I have also created video tutorials on using your new workbook. Feel free to ask any questions regarding my experience and how I can help. Below are some reviews from previous projects: "Working with Daniel was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a program developer. 5 other freelancers gave up on this job and Daniel put in the work to understand what I've had problems articulating. His intuitiveness and patience when it comes to extracting abstract ideas and translating it into programming is both admirable second to none. He went above and beyond and I am eternally thankful for his skill and intelligence." "Daniel, once again, did not fail to deliver excellent quality, in a satisfactory amount of time, for a very reasonable price. Most places or people you can request two of those qualities (Good Quality, Good price, fast time), but with Daniel the standard is all three every time. Highest marks of recommendation for Daniel!" "Dan went above & beyond to assist me with completing my project. I can honestly say in all of my years of working with upwork Daniel has been the best, most professional & accommodating freelancer that I have worked with." "I came into this somewhat jaded as a short lived freelancer ghosted me on this project (they got in over their head and couldn't deliver) and was a bit weary of trying this again. But Daniel had clear intentions, great communication, and was a pro from the beginning. Once we discussed the project and hammered out the details, he was off! In a matter of a day or two he had the work 75% done, with the project being completed in under a few days! I couldn't have asked for a better product, it works perfectly and does exactly what I needed it to do. Amazing guy, and amazing work. HIRE HIM IMMEDIATELY!" "Daniel is super professional, and an Excel genius! I truly beleive he knows more about excel that the developers that created excel. Our project came out perfect, and Daniel went over and beyond to make the workbook project perfect. He has proficient knowledge." "Daniel showed up in a bind and made a complex and necessary schedule for my client that was a years long project in the hundreds of thousands in budget. Very urgent and he got it done for me last minute when my plate was too full. We used it and it worked like a dream. Great spirit and helpful and thorough. Would use again for all my spreadsheet PM needs! Thank you!"

Excel VBA Developers Hiring FAQs

What is an Excel VBA developer?

For those looking to create powerful macros to enhance the functionality of Excel, Access, and/or Visio, an Excel VBA developer can help. An expert in this field is familiar with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), a programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) created by Microsoft for event-driven applications. 

How do you hire an Excel VBA developer?

You can source Excel VBA developer talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. Youโ€™ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in an Excel VBA developer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once youโ€™ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview Excel VBA developers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of Excel VBA developer you need to complete your project. 

How much does it cost to hire an Excel VBA developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced Excel VBA developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their Excel VBA development services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by Excel VBA developers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $20 per hour
  • Intermediate: $39 per hour
  • Advanced: $100 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write an Excel VBA developer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what youโ€™re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample Excel VBA developer job post titles:

  • Need expert to create online forms to automate reports input from Excel and Access files
  • Looking for a strong Excel VBA developer with extensive Macintosh experience
  • Advanced Excel VBA skills needed for database cleanup

Project description

An effective Excel VBA developer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From clean data entry to programming automated reports, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, platforms, or reports mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Excel VBA developer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of Excel VBA developer job responsibilities:

  • Take complicated spreadsheets and convert into Excel workbook 
  • Develop automated monthly reports from Excel and Access 
  • Train analyst staff on how to use VBA on all Microsoft Office products

Excel VBA developer job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications youโ€™re looking for in an Excel VBA developer. Here are some examples:

  • Must have at least 5 years experience in computer science at the corporate level
  • Familiarity with using VBA across all Microsoft Office Suite products
  • Understanding of how VBA can automatically create a Microsoft Word report from Microsoft Excel data that was automatically collected
