Turning Your Spreadsheets Into Interactive Data Warehouses With Ms Access Courses
By Rich
If you like Excel, you'll really enjoy Access. Chances are that if you've been using Excel, you've become pretty comfortable with how to organise information, create formulas, and produce charts that have made your job exponentially easier. However, if you've never tried any MS Access courses, you might be surprised at how much more effective your information can become than with Microsoft Excel alone.
If you're an Excel user, you probably feel a little frustrated when you see a co-worker trying to hash out complicated formulas on paper or organise information using Microsoft Word. That's because Excel is better suited for calculations and organisation than paper or word processor programs.
However, Access is the ultimate data storage tool - many times more powerful and effective for entering and retrieving information than Excel. The degree of difference is almost as significant as that between your co-worker's handwritten notes and your use of Excel. Coming up, we'll discuss just a few powerful features covered in MS Access courses that can turn your spreadsheets into interactive data warehouses.
Simple, Customised, Data Entry
Entering data into an Excel file can be a little frustrating. If your data sheet is long, wide, or both, you'll be doing a lot of scrolling up and down or side to side in order to find where to plug in the information. One of the first things you'll learn in MS Access courses is how to create simple, user-friendly form boxes in which to enter your data.
When it's time to enter data, you'll simply tab through your form entering data in the appropriate fields, click a button, and all of the data is neatly placed into the correct cells behind the scenes.
Data Retrieval Queries
If you've got quite a bit of data in Excel, finding data isn't all that easy. If you're scrolling around, freezing panes and windows, or constantly sorting, you're working too hard! In MS Access courses, you'll learn a simple way to instantly retrieve information anywhere in the database.
