Introduction to Data Analysis Microsoft Access / Data Manipulation
Data analysis provides the user with the ability to examine a database's records and the overall behavior of its objects. Data analysis is performed on tables, queries, and/or forms. There are two main aspects involved with data analysis: what you provide to the users and what the users may decide to do with data at their disposal. An intermediate to advanced user of Microsoft Access will know how to perform some, most, or all of the operations we will review.
Data Analysis With Charts Microsoft Access / Excel and Charts
A chart is a technique of displaying data using pictures and graphical representations instead of numbers or simple words. It works by drawing figures that would represent numbers, giving a dramatic effect to the information presented. Good created and formatted charts can help people and businesses make decisions based on the impact that their images provide to the users.
Introduction to Data Types Microsoft Access / Functions and Expressions
A data type represents the kind of information that a particular field should or must hold. Every field in your database objects (tables, forms, and reports) should have the right type and it is your role to select the most appropriate of them. This helps both you and the user who performs data entry.

To further enhance your filtering capabilities, you can use Boolean algebra combined with the operators we have used so far. Besides the logical operators we know already, Boolean algebra adds extra operators used to concatenate expression.
Creating data tables Microsoft Access / Data Manipulation
Here we will see how to create a data table in order to be able to introduce data into the database in the following units, and later work with this data using the advantages provided to us by Access2003.
Introduction to Relationships Microsoft Access / Data Manipulation
Data entry consist of typing the necessary value in each field. Because a regular database is made of various tables, these objects work as an ensemble to create a product as complete and efficient as possible.
Introduction to Data Sheets Microsoft Access / Gettings Started
Many techniques allow you to create a database, the fastest of which consists of using one of the provided examples. Microsoft Access 97 shipped with 22 sample databases while Microsoft Access 2000 ships with 10. Furthermore, the 97 version allowed to provide sample data into the database. This is not available with the 2000 release. The databases that ship with Microsoft Access can help you in two main ways: they provide a fast means of creating a database and you can learn from their structure.
Introduction to Microsoft Access Microsoft Access / Gettings Started
Microsoft Access is a computer application used to create and manage computer-based databases on desktop computers and/or on connected computers (a network). Microsoft Access can be used for personal information management (PIM), in a small business to organize and manage all data, or in an enterprise to communicate with servers.
Data Maintenance, Import/Export Microsoft Access / Miscellaneous
Data entry consists of typing values in data fields or selecting values from bound controls. Some records happen to have the same value for a particular field, or most records hold a common value for a certain field. When designing a form, you can assign the most commonly used value to such a field so the user would not have to type it. The user would change the value only if it is different from the usual.
Working with Forms Microsoft Access / Miscellaneous
A form created in Access is similar to the ordinary paper forms that you fill out with a pen or pencilonly you don't have to worry about trying to read poor penmanship. In Access, forms provide an easy way to enter and view data in a table. Here are just a few examples of how forms make working with data easier.
Exporting Access Tables to Excel Microsoft Access / Excel and Charts
It's often necessary to convert data stored in an Access database to another form, such as an Excel workbook. You may wish to take advantage of some of Excel's unique analytical capabilities or simply share data with someone unfamiliar with Access. Whatever the reason, the conversion process is fairly straightforward and quick. Let's take a few moments to walk through the process, step-by-step.
