Team B will explain the usefulness of converting data currently held in Microsoft Excel into a relational database using Microsoft Access. Team B will also introduce types of collaborative software; how this software can improve communications and streamline work processes. Microsoft Excel Microsoft Excel is the most used spreadsheet program (Grauer, Poatsy, Mulbery, Hulett, Krebs, & Mast, 2011). In Excel, a worksheet is a single spreadsheet that typically contains descriptive labels, numeric values, formulas, functions, and graphical representations of data (Grauer, Poatsy, Mulbery, Hulett, Krebs, & Mast, 2011). A workbook is a collection of one or more related worksheets contained within a single file; by default, new workbooks contain three worksheets (Grauer, Poatsy, Mulbery, Hulett, Krebs, & Mast, 2011). Storing multiple worksheets within one workbook helps organize related data together in one file and enables you to perform calculations among the worksheets within the workbook (Grauer, Poatsy, Mulbery, Hulett, Krebs, & Mast, 2011). Business typically uses Microsoft Excel to store simple information.

...1. a) What is a database? A database is an organized collection of related data. b) How does an RDBMS store data? An RDBMS stores related data in tables. 2. What is one benefit of dividing data into tables? Dividing data into tables eliminates unnecessary data duplication, or data redundancy. 3. a) What is a database schema? A database schema is a description of the data and the organization of the data into tables in a relational database. b) Explain the considerations for dividing data into related groups. Considerations for dividing data into related groups includes grouping information so that there is little or no data redundancy. However, each table must have data related to at least one other table, which will require data duplication. This is not considered data redundancy. A table with no relationship to any another table does not belong in the database. 4. a) What is a field? A column in a table. Used to store data. b) Explain why a field that stores more than one piece of data is considered poor design. A field that stores more than one piece of data limits the sorting and searching capabilities of the database. 5. List four guidelines to follow when choosing field names. 1. Make field names unique. 2. Choose the shortest possible...

...Database Concepts Name Institution Date Database Concepts Database is essential in an organization for the management of records and other important office work in the organization. I would stick with the current database management software in my current career for future tasks unless there is a good version for comprehensive data management. The database should have a friendly user interface to facilitate quality data management by all employees in the organization. This database has a list of features that range from the client/server architecture, speed, triggers, foreign key constraints to platform independence that work harmoniously in creating a good relational database for an organization. On the database, the field will act as the smallest unit of data input (Zawodny, & Balling, 2004). It allows the user to write numerical or alphabetical characters for data management. The field is related to a record because they combine to create meaningless data that can be manipulated for meaningful information. A table will contain several records, which will then form the whole database of information for the organization. Managing data in Access is better than using Spreadsheets because of several reasons. Access is a true database and contains several features that guarantee data security over Spreadsheets. Spreadsheets only allow users to perform automated calculations on data than can be handled by a single user at a time. Access is essential in data filtration...

Team D will demonstrate this by explaining the usefulness of converting data currently in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into a rational database using Microsoft Access. Describe the benefits of using Microsoft Access in our organization and will include suggestions for the future use of collaborative software, showing how it can improve the communication of the sales department while also streamlining the work process. Usefulness Depending on whom you speak with you will get a different response when asked, which software is better Microsoft Excel or Access. They are both very powerful and unique software used by tremendous amount of individual’s worldwide. Just know that both are used to make our day at work or even at home easier by recording and organizing important data. However, how they store, organize, or display that data is completely different from each other making it one of the major differences between the two. For example, excel offers what is known as the what-if analysis, which can forecast the outcome of the worksheet. Although they may seem completely different visually, they are very similar in the information that can be stored. Microsoft access can store data in tables that look similar to those of a worksheet but function quite differently. Microsoft Excel on the hand displays flat-file database, which instead of...

...What is Access? Simple databases store information in only one table. These simple databases are often called flat file databases, or just flat databases. More complex database programs, such as Access, store information in multiple related tables, thereby creating what are referred to as relational databases. If the information in a relational database is organized correctly, you can treat these multiple tables as a single storage area and pull information electronically from different tables in whatever order meets your needs. Tables are one of the types of database objects you work with in Access. Other types include forms, queries and reports. Of these object types, only tables are used to store information. The others are used to enter, manage, manipulate, analyze, retrieve, or display the information stored in tables—in other words, to make the information as accessible and therefore as useful as possible. Table – data storage, the actual location of data Forms – used to enter, to change or to delete data Queries Reports Starting Microsoft Access If you are using an IT Services machine, login as usual by entering your username and password. Then, to start up the program: 1. Open the Windows Start button and choose All Programs 2.

...also is easier to change data that has previously been entered. Access gives the ability for more than one user to update tables at the same time, and gives the option to create more than one report from the same data. Access stores data in tables that look like worksheets, but are designed for complex querying in relation to data stores in other tables and locations. Access also allows you to use structured query language, to quickly retrieve just certain rows and columns of data that you may want for a report, even if that particular data is part of another table. By converting our data that we currently have in Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Access it will give us the opportunity to track different areas of our business in more ways than one. It will also allow us to effectively maintain our reports to ensure better production and customer satisfaction. Using Microsoft Access as the database for our company is beneficial for so many reasons. For instance, with an access database file, several users can work in the same file at the same time, multiple users, from different computers; can work on an Access database simultaneously. One person could add records to the Customer table while another could create a query based on the Product table. Access also provides two utilities to help protect the data within a database: Compact and Repair and backup. These two functions both help protect our data, Compact and repair reduces the size of the database. Backup creates a duplicate...
