What to look for in a Excel freelancer
A good Excel expert builds sheets other people can use without breaking them. Look for:
- Command of advanced formulas: lookups, INDEX and MATCH, and dynamic arrays.
- Automation skills, with VBA or macros where they genuinely save time.
- Clean structure, separating inputs, calculations, and outputs so nothing hidden breaks.
- An eye for presentation, turning raw numbers into a report a manager can read.
- Care with accuracy, building checks so errors surface instead of hiding.
Send a small messy sample of your real data and ask how they would clean it. It shows their approach far better than a list of functions they know.
