...E&C PROPOSAL Converting data currently held in Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets into a rational database using Microsoft® Access® can be useful in creating reports. These reports can be run at any time by users. “With Office Access 2007, you can link tables to your database from other Access databases, Excel spreadsheets, Windows SharePoint Services sites, ODBC data sources, Microsoft SQL Server databases, and other data sources. You can then use these linked tables to easily create reports so you can base your decisions on a more comprehensive set of information” (Microsoft Office Access benefits). Access can be used by multiple users working on the data at the same time; even several users can work on the same data at the same time. Access locks in a record only while the user changes it; when users use Excel workbook it can be shared, but users should change data in Excel at separate times for the process to work best. “If you need to connect to several data sources and edit the data directly in those sources, then Access is your choice. You can view external data with Excel, but you can't change that data” (Office Microsoft). Wireless to IT uses The benefits of using Microsoft Access in the work place for the company would be one of the easier ways to create contacts, assets tracking, issue tracking, project tracking. With the program it would keep up with current customers, and their previous order. The company with and using this program can also share or forecast their...

...As we all know writing and excel knowledge is needed for most or all classes we take, work at our daily jobs, or projects we want to dive into. In essence, not everyone has the skills to write a prefect paper or tackle a pivot chart on excel. Many students, such as me, who have decided to take on a new journey towards earning their MBA, have been given a tool by Capella to evaluate what they do and do not know about their writing skills and excel knowledge. The results will lead us to a better tomorrow, it will enhance our writing skills to think another a more critical level, and use the excel spreadsheets more knowingly. This tool was a reminder that I need to focus more on my prewriting skills, use my time management skills, and explore more into using an excel sheet. My overall composite score in writing was at a moderate level. The score was evaluated by five elements: focus and meaning, content and development, organization, language use and style, and lastly mechanics. With talking to the enrollment counselor and the coach for the course, I was advised that writing was a huge factor in the MBA courses. I knew before starting the course, my writing skills needed some refreshing. In taking the assessment it only proved my point invalid. I found that I needed to establish and control the main ideas to my audience so they have a better understanding of what I’m trying to say. The ideas in my writing were not fully developed and did not specify enough clarity to...

...1. Describe ways in which the use of MS Excel as a tool for interpreting data can be used by a manager of an organization. Many tools of MS Excel are available to analyze statistical data beyond the basic statistical analysis. Such tools include regression analysis, simulations, control charts, summaries, and forecasting. Other important data that can be obtained using the expanded MS Excel financial functions is performance level calculations, principle payment calculation, depreciation of an asset, interest payment on investment, present value of investment, calculation of interest rate over time, annual duration of the security, current and future rates of investment, and amortization. The logical functions help calculation based on the requirements such as if, or, and, true and false. MS Excel also has an integration that allows to import information stored in COM applications. MS Excel also has a series of arithmetic and geometric functions. Additionally, MS Excel has a number of functions for engineering applications such as Bessel functions, binary and hexadecimal. Other functions include correlation, covariance, sum of squares, exponential means, permutations, quartiles, Student’s t-distribution, z test , and others. The manager can effectively utilize these tools in interpretation of data sets and creating queries without using MS Access. The manager can effectively calculate all the needed statistics without having to go through extensive calculations. By using Data...

...using a program from Microsoft, Access is the best one to use in the business because of its ability to process information using a relational database system. However, the collaboration tool that a business uses is equally important. This tool whether it is an inter- or intra-net type system is critical when working with other team members or employees to process work efficiently and effectively for the business and its customers. While currently at Party Plates we utilize Microsoft Excel, there is good reason to incorporate Microsoft Access as well. On many occasions, you will want and possibly need to take advantage of the benefits that both programs have to offer. For example, you created a spreadsheet in Excel in which you can calculate and analyze the data, and it has become unmanageable due to size and complexity, and now that data needs to be accessed by many more users than you. One example would be to, import or link your worksheet into Access and use it as a database as an option to working with it in Excel. Whether you use excel or access first, the data is always interchangeable you can go from one to the other seamlessly. You can bring data into Access from Excel (and vice versa) by, importing copying, or exporting it. No data connection required to complete these tasks. Microsoft Access is an essential part of most businesses today. This database allows personal to access and manage a vast amount of...

...really liked the whole idea of working out. I thought it was very interesting how a person could transform into a new version of themselves that barely resembled their old looks. (At least that’s what the magazines said.) Unfortunately, I had the least amount of knowledge about what exactly I was supposed to do in a weight room. After doing some research reading books, online articles, and watching online videos, I started to teach myself a basic beginner routine. This routine mainly consisted of a bench press, squat, and deadlift, or otherwise known as the big three. The only other exercises I did were accessory work, which would help to increase the big three. I had a good friend named Cesar that had been working out for years since he played on the football team. Cesar continued helping me by giving me more tips, as well. Furthermore, after research and talking to Cesar, I decided that I was ready to officially start working out. Cesar persuaded me to join the workout class at my high school called excel. This class was very simple. It consisted of a teacher supervising the students, and the students would get graded on whether they were working out or not. I really enjoyed lifting with Cesar, because he really pushed me to work hard. He was also my spotter for when I lifted heavy weights, just in case I missed a rep. Because I lifted with him so much, I unnoticeably developed a reliance on him. It also seemed like everybody else in the excel class had a partner or even a...
