Excel v Access
Hello,
I my role I record non-numerical data. I work in training and record people's names, what courses they have done, what courses they haven't done, what courses they need to do etc. Is access a better programme for me to use for this kind of data?
Many thanks and kind regards,
Andy

RE: Excel v Access
Hi Andrew
Thanks for your question
I think there is little doubt that Access would be a better tool here. Excel works with simple lists, while you have collections of related data, Students, Courses, Attendances etc.
Thus you need to use a relational database tool
Regards
Stephen
