Hi good people!,
Just a general question. I am VERY new to Access but don't want to waste my time learning it if it is not going to meet with what I am after, which is, complex calculations as we can do in Excel. As far as I have learned Access is basically a reporting portal, pulling info from a database (Table), and displaying it. There are some calculations that can be done, but they are basically limited to adding, subtraction, multiplication and division. Uhm, please, I just want to know if I can create, and use formulas and macros to AT LEAST the same extend as we can use them in Excel?. Conditional formatting?..is this an Access feature?. Any info will be greatly appreciated!...thanx guys!
