Data Analysis Projects on Upwork Efficiently

I’m commissioning a focused field survey to quantify current demand and overall market size for surgical instruments and equipment in a defined geographic region (details shared after award). The goal is straightforward: gather reliable, on-the-ground data that turns the broad product category into real numbers—purchase frequency, average spend, preferred brands and growth potential.

You will design the questionnaire, secure a statistically meaningful sample, collect primary data through face-to-face or phone interviews, and translate the findings into clear metrics such as total addressable market, year-on-year growth and key purchasing drivers.

Deliverables
• Clean, anonymised dataset (Excel or CSV)
• Methodology note covering sample frame, response rate and any weighting applied
• Slide deck highlighting insights and market-size calculations, supported by clear charts

Please include in your proposal a brief outline of your sampling approach, data-collection tools and timeline, along with examples of previous medical-device or healthcare fieldwork. Accuracy and verifiable sources are essential; I’ll run spot checks before releasing the final milestone.

Skills: Excel, Research Writing, Market Research, Statistical Analysis, SPSS Statistics, Data Visualization, Data Analysis, Data Collection

I have an immediate need for a data-savvy freelancer who can take raw worksheets, clean and structure them, then extract clear, business-ready insights inside Microsoft Excel. Advanced formulas, pivot tables, Power Query, well-designed charts—even a lightweight dashboard if it speeds decision-making—may all come into play.

Scope of the first assignment
• Receive several CSV / XLSX files and any lookup tables I supply
• Eliminate duplicates, fix obvious errors, and reshape the data into an analysis-friendly format
• Produce summary tables and visuals that answer the key business questions I will outline in our kickoff call
• Document the approach so I can refresh or extend the work later

I would like this initial project wrapped up within a month. When you respond, attach or link to a detailed project proposal that shows:
– comparable Excel analysis you have delivered before,
– the steps and tools you expect to use,
– your estimated timeline broken into milestones, and
– a clear pricing structure.

Strong communicators who meet deadlines are essential, as this could grow into SQL, Power BI, or Tableau assignments. I will review proposals promptly and aim to select a partner soon—looking forward to seeing how you can turn my spreadsheets into actionable insight.

Skills: Visual Basic, Data Processing, Data Entry, Excel, Business Intelligence, Data Visualization, Data Analysis, Data Management

I have a collection of text-selectable PDF invoices that need to be converted into a structured Excel workbook. Each invoice must have its own worksheet, named after the invoice number. Inside every sheet I expect the full header (number, date, supplier, total) followed by a table of every line item, complete with descriptions, quantities, unit prices, taxes, and line totals—nothing skipped.

Because the PDFs are already text-based, no OCR is necessary; copy-paste, scripted parsing, Power Query, VBA, or Python are all acceptable so long as the result opens flawlessly in Excel 2016 or later. Accuracy is critical: figures, currency symbols, and tax percentages have to match the source exactly, and any field you cannot match must be clearly highlighted.

Deliverables:
• One .xlsx file containing a separate, consistently formatted worksheet for each invoice
• Any scripts or macros used so the process can be repeated on future batches

I’ll provide the first 50 invoices once we settle on timing. Let me know your proposed turnaround and the method you plan to use.

I need an interactive Power BI Desktop report that lets any cricket fan instantly compare Virat Kohli’s ODI and Test numbers. Please pull publicly available career statistics only up to an agreed-upon cutoff date; no proprietary feeds are necessary.

The layout revolves around a single format slicer (All / ODI / Test) that drives every visual, with the donut chart itself acting as a secondary filter. Across the top sit seven KPI cards—matches, runs, average, strike rate, hundreds, fifties and highest score—so users feel the impact of the slicer instantly.

Below that, the story unfolds through:
• Runs split by format
• Hundreds versus fifties side-by-side
• Dual-axis chart for average and strike rate
• Spotlight on most ODI centuries
• A look at his 2026 ODI innings (static until the chosen cutoff)
• Test captaincy performance
• A milestones timeline that can also be filtered

A colourful, illustrated cricketer (no real photo) crowns the page. Provide both dark and light themes; a theme switch should be seamless for the end user.

Deliverables:
• Finished .pbix file with a clean data model, labelled measures and tidy DAX
• The raw dataset you compiled (CSV or Excel) with source links for transparency
• The custom illustration in vector or high-res PNG so I can reuse it elsewhere

Acceptance will be based on: all slicers and visuals updating correctly, KPIs matching known public figures for the cutoff date, and smooth theme switching without visual glitches.

Skills: Graphic Design, Excel, Statistics, Illustration, Data Visualization, Data Analysis, Power BI, Data Modeling

Please begin your proposal with "BBC Acquisition Research" to confirm that you have reviewed this position.

What Success Looks Like

The successful candidate will consistently identify established companies with essential customer demand, defensible operations, dependable earnings, and management teams capable of operating independently.

We value the quality of acquisition opportunities over the quantity of listings collected.

Our objective is to build a portfolio of durable, cash-generating businesses that can withstand economic downturns and operate successfully under long-term ownership.

I need a single-file Excel workbook that lets me prepare civil work bills by entering only the basic figures while every other value populates through formulas. The sheet must support three different quantity calculations—simple Nos, L × B × D, or any other method that is tied to the chosen item—so the logic changes automatically whenever I pick an item from the drop-down list.

Key workflow
• One “Rates” sheet will hold the master list of items with their unit, default GST %, and current rate. When I select an item on the main bill sheet, its unit, rate, and the correct GST percent should flow in instantly via lookup formulas.
• On the bill sheet I will enter Nos or length, breadth, depth/height, and (if needed) a custom rate. Quantity, amount, subtotal, GST, multiple deductions, round-off, and the grand total must recalculate live.
• All calculations must rely on formulas only—no hard-coded numbers—so that any change in rates or dimensions updates every dependent cell.
• Input cells remain unlocked; every formula cell stays password-protected.
• The print area has to fit cleanly on an A4 page and contain a header with firm name, client, project, bill number, date, and space for signatures.

Deliverables
1. Excel workbook with:
– “Rates” sheet (editable)
– “Bill” sheet (protected formulas, open input cells)
2. Brief user guide outlining how to add items, modify rates, and print the finished bill.

Acceptance criteria: all calculations adapt to the measurement method selected, GST applies per item using its stored percentage, multiple deductions and round-off appear in the final total, and the layout prints neatly on one A4 page without manual adjustment.

Skills: Visual Basic, Data Processing, Excel, Civil Engineering, Excel VBA, Excel Macros, Data Visualization, Data Analysis

I have a batch of customer contact details that must be transferred straight into a spreadsheet. You will work in either Excel or Google Sheets—whichever you are most comfortable with—and enter each name, phone number, email address, and any additional fields exactly as they appear in the source files. No cleaning, sorting, or deduplication is required; accuracy in reproducing the information is the only priority.

Once the last record is keyed in, please double-check that every row is complete and that the sheet mirrors the original order of the documents I supply. I will provide the files and a ready-made sheet so you can start right away, and I’m available for any quick clarifications while you work.

Deliverable: one fully populated spreadsheet containing every customer record exactly as given.

## Project Overview

I am seeking an experienced **Senior Python Engineer / Independent Software Auditor** to conduct a focused technical verification of an existing AI-assisted financial research system called **EBDIS/KBYG (Evidence-Based Decision and Investment System)**.

This is a personal, non-commercial research project. The architecture, Python implementation, technical documentation, and extensive offline testing have already been developed.

**The objective is independent verification of the existing system, NOT rebuilding or developing a new system.**

We are preparing for a controlled historical market-data study covering 2018–2022 and require an independent assessment before starting data acquisition.

## Scope of Work

### 1. Python Code and Data Pipeline Audit

Review the existing Python implementation, including:

- REST API requests and historical-data acquisition.
- Pagination and API error handling.
- JSON validation, duplicate detection, and data integrity.
- SHA-256 checksums and provenance verification.
- Evidence preservation, atomic file operations, and recovery.
- Security, reliability, and fail-closed controls.

### 2. Three Core Components

**RA10 — Data Acquisition and Provenance**

Verify API request integrity, pagination continuity, original HTTP evidence, source receipts, token confidentiality, and audit-trail reliability.

**RA11 — Historical Market Calendar**

Verify NYSE trading calendars for 2018–2022, including holidays, exceptional closures, early closing sessions, daylight-saving transitions, and timestamp accuracy.

**RA12 — Dataset Integrity**

Verify historical-data completeness, source-to-dataset traceability, RAW/CANONICAL reconstruction, missing or duplicate bars, and correct symbol/date assignments.

### 3. Governance and Security Verification

Review six defined technical controls (GOV-01 through GOV-06) relating to:

- Pagination-token security.
- Original data custody and restricted access.
- Source-generation metadata.
- API endpoint restrictions.
- HTTP timestamps and clock integrity.
- Atomic preservation and crash recovery.

Review whether the components are correctly integrated and whether the existing evidence is sufficient to support an acquisition-readiness decision.

### 4. Financial Data and Existing Evidence

The research uses six US securities:

SPY, AAPL, MSFT, JPM, XOM, and WMT.

The frozen historical acquisition plan specifies 5-minute SIP equity bars over 2018–2022, with 360 symbol-month windows, a maximum of 2,000 HTTP attempts, and a maximum of 5 million raw rows.

Written clarification from Alpaca concerning personal research use is available.

The reviewer should examine the technical evidence and identify any unresolved source-use or agreement-applicability concerns. A formal legal opinion is not required.

## Required Deliverables

We require **one consolidated independent technical audit report** containing:

1. Reviewer's qualifications and independence declaration.
2. Exact source files and SHA-256 hashes examined.
3. Technical findings for RA10, RA11, and RA12.
4. Individual PASS, HOLD, or FAIL findings for GOV-01 through GOV-06.
5. Assessment of system integration and data integrity.
6. Identified defects, risks, and necessary corrections.
7. Final recommendation on readiness for consideration of a separately authorized historical-data acquisition.
8. A dated, signed or otherwise attributable technical assessment.

An evidence-supported HOLD or FAIL outcome is acceptable. We require an objective professional assessment, not a predetermined approval.

## Important Project Conditions

- This is initially an **offline, read-only audit**.
- No access to private API credentials or server passwords.
- No market-data downloads or live trading.
- No cloud execution or model training.
- No unnecessary repetition of already accepted tests.
- No modifications to existing accepted code without prior approval.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Strong professional Python experience.
- REST API and ETL pipeline development.
- Independent source-code review and software testing.
- Data engineering and provenance verification.
- Linux, filesystem security, logging, and recovery.
- Experience with financial market data is highly desirable.
- Ability to deliver a documented independent technical assessment.

## Budget and Engagement

This is a **fixed-scope, preferably fixed-price assignment**.

A complete technical review package is available, including source code, documentation, previous verification results, and audit decision templates.

Please provide:

- Relevant experience with similar independent audits.
- Estimated time required.

I need reliable, quantitative feedback from a broad, non-specialist audience to gauge how appealing a new product concept is. You will design a concise online questionnaire (no more than ten closed-ended items), launch it on platforms such as Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or any comparable tool you prefer, and then drive enough traffic so we end up with a statistically useful sample of genuine, unique respondents from the general public.

Along the way you’ll monitor response quality, remove duplicates or bots, and keep me updated on progress. Once the target count is reached, you’ll hand over:
• the raw spreadsheet of all responses,
• a clean, de-identified data file ready for analysis, and
• a brief note explaining your recruitment channels and any basic descriptive stats you’ve already spotted (optional but welcome).

Pentru fiecare piesă am deja codul OE și denumirea actuală; îmi lipsește însă un titlu în limba română optimizat SEO, categoria exactă a piesei și lista de mărci / modele auto compatibile. Vreau să automatizez întregul proces cu ajutorul inteligenței artificiale:

• Algoritmul trebuie să parcurgă mai multe surse online, să recunoască rapid categoria (ex. „braț suspensie”, „filtru ulei” etc.) și să identifice vehiculele pe care piesa se potrivește.
• Pe baza acestor date va genera un titlu comercial atractiv, bogat în cuvinte-cheie relevante pentru Google, dar natural pentru clienții din România.
• Rezultatul final pentru fiecare cod se exportă într-un fișier Excel/CSV cu minimum patru coloane: Cod OE, Titlu SEO, Categorie, Compatibilități (brand & model).

I’m putting together a single Excel workbook that will let me monitor stock levels, capture every sale, and print or save customer invoices without leaving the sheet. The core of the file is a sales and inventory tracker, but I only need it to store customer details and the invoices we generate—supplier purchasing data isn’t required.

Here’s what I want it to do:
• A clean, protected invoice form where I enter quantities and prices, then have subtotals, tax, and grand totals calculate automatically.
• Once the form is saved, the sale should post itself to an underlying database sheet so stock levels update and a historical log of each transaction is kept.
• Simple lookup or dropdowns for existing customers so we avoid repetitive typing, with room to add new names on the fly.
• Dashboard-style summaries I can filter by date or customer to see top-line metrics such as units sold and remaining inventory.

Everything needs to run inside standard Excel—formulas or VBA are both fine, as long as the file is reliable on the latest Microsoft 365 release for Windows. Please build it using clear, well-labeled sheets and add a short note that explains how to reset the invoice form and where to add new products.

When you deliver, I’ll test it by entering a handful of sample orders and checking that inventory, totals, and customer logs update exactly as expected.

Skills: PHP, Excel, Software Architecture, MySQL, Excel VBA, Excel Macros, Data Analysis, Data Management

We’re looking for someone experienced in Excel to create a clear, professional spreadsheet that tracks and analyses our advertising spend and performance across seven advertising channels.

The spreadsheet will cover two months (September and October) and needs to provide a simple, easy-to-understand breakdown of:
- Total advertising spend per channel
- Number of leads generated
- Number of inspections booked
- Number of sales generated
- Cost per lead
- Cost per inspection
- Cost per sale
