Why Convert Excel to Access?
Access is uniquely poised to take your spreadsheet system and turbocharge it for a much better user experience. Moving data from Excel to Access is quite easy using copy and paste, and you can later export your Access reports to Excel.
Techniques to Convert Spreadsheets to Access.
- First, split your Excel data into silos, for example, if you have a tab for orders and each order includes your customer name, address, phone, etc. then you should extract the data into unique records and instead create a customer table that does not have any order data.
- Once you have split the data into silos, you can copy and paste the data directly into your Access tables.
- After you have imported your data into tables, it’s recommended you create forms and reports to enter the data and analyze it.
Converting Excel to Access Can Be Daunting
How daunting will depend on the complexity of your spreadsheets and your knowledge of Access, but once you have completed the project you will LOVE the ease of use and achieve the following benefits:
- Multiple users at once can enter, edit or run reports at the same time, no more “read only” messages.
- Hold a LOT more data than Excel: Access can hold millions of records compared to hundreds of thousands in Excel.
- Analyze data much faster than Excel.
