Afternoon all,
I am looking for some help. Unsure access is what I need but hoping you can help me with this.
I have a tonne of excel data which is currently stored in various excel documents which are simply getting to big. Much of what I am trying to do is speed up the excels by storing the data somewhere else as well as getting more out of the data.
I am looking to store these documents in access then link them into excel to do the analytical work. Is that a good thing to do?
Beyond that the data also has a number of uses within it. For instance it says how much stock of a certain item I have in one shop and how much has been bought of that item in that shop.
Whilst I understand that I would be able to analyse the data of stock in each shop, is it possible to query the data in excel so I could also analyse how much of the stock is bought in total/ in each shop and apply the excel formula to this?
Many thanks
