Week 10: muddy-clear-wow

This week we explored Microsoft Access.
I had never heard of this let alone used it. As Mr. Olson began to show us how this tool is used, I was unsure. It seemed similar to Excel at first, but then it was a whole world of computing!
My favorite part of this week was learning how to import the Excel spreadsheet and then making a report and or query about it.
Since, I'm a huge excel fan- I make an excel sheet for everything- this aspect was so exciting!
After being shown, the use of Access seems easy and fun!
Once you open Access you begin to make a new table or you can import the data from Excel.
After you have data, you can start a query under the create tab.
You can also make reports that can show specific desired information.
These tools can be helpful, not only to a teacher as in the example, to a business that wants to keep track of invoices, sales, employees, times, orders, and more!
Made by me! =]
