Microsoft Access 2007 Data Analysis |
| Michael Alexander |
| While there are many books that focus on Data Analysis with Excel, it is extremely difficult to find any books dedicated to Data Analysis with Microsoft Access. This book shows readers that Access has strong data analysis capabilities that are easy to learn, applicable to all kinds business situations, and relevant to many types of organizations. What do we mean by Data Analysis? The process of categorizing data into groups, summarizing large amounts of data into meaningful information, and performing a wide variety of calculations in a fraction of the time it would normally take by hand. The market is virtually void of any documentation that offers users solutions revolving around data analysis with Access. So why isn’t Data Analysis with Excel good enough? Excel has real limitations that often force Excel users to use Access. Years of consulting experience have brought the authors face-to-face with Excel users who have offered contracts because their projects had outgrown Excel. They simply did not know what the next logical step was. Access solved their problems easily! Approach:
This book offers a comprehensive review of the wide array of analytical functionality that Access has to offer. After reading this book, the reader will be able to: *Analyze large amounts of data and report their data in a meaningful way *Get better visibility into data from different perspectives *Quickly slice data into various views on the fly *Automate redundant analysis *Save time and increase productivity Along with step-by-step instruction on the analytical functionality of Access, the book provides practical, real world, scenarios that show the benefits of using Access for data analysis, it shows how to avoid common pitfalls of everyday data crunching, and it routinely discusses the differences and similarities between Access and Excel when covering a subject.
