I will build a business dashboard, or fix and automate your spreadsheet


About this gig
Spreadsheet gone wrong, or drowning in numbers you can't see the shape of? I'll fix it and turn it into a dashboard that tells you what's going on at a glance.
I spent a career as a quantity surveyor turning messy figures into clear decisions. Now I do the same for you: fix broken formulas and clean muddled data fast, then (if you want) build a dashboard showing your sales, costs, cash flow, projects or KPIs - in Excel, Google Sheets or Power BI, whichever suits you. Power BI builds are fully interactive: click any chart and the whole page refilters - delivered as a report file that opens in Microsoft's free Power BI Desktop.
You get a working tool, a short plain-English guide, and totals that don't fall over when you add a row. No jargon, no half-finished mess - just something you'll actually keep using.
Whether it's a quick rescue of one broken sheet or a full dashboard build, tell me what you need and I'll sort it. Happy to work from a messy existing file, a rough idea, or a blank page.

FAQ
Can you fix a file you didn’t build?
Yes — that’s most of the Basic tier. Send it over and I’ll diagnose it.
Will the dashboard update itself?
Yes — I build self-adjusting totals and charts, and can connect a live data source so it refreshes on its own.
Excel, Google Sheets or Power BI — which should I choose?
Excel or Sheets for everyday budgets and trackers; Power BI when you want a fully interactive dashboard — click any chart and everything refilters. Not sure? Tell me what you’re trying to see and I’ll recommend honestly.
Do I need to buy Power BI?
Not to use what I deliver — Power BI Desktop is free on Windows and opens your report file. Sharing dashboards online with a team uses Microsoft’s paid per-user licences; I’ll tell you straight whether that’s worth it for your situation.
What if my file is beyond saving?
I’ll tell you straight and quote a clean rebuild rather than paper over the cracks.
