Each primarily have their own purposes: Excel for Spreadsheets and Access for Databases. Whichever of those 2 things you want to do will determine which application is best for the job. However, in each case a lot of what you would do with the primary application can be done in the secondary ones, though not as efficiently. For example it is possible to do formulas similar to Excel in Access. It is possible to do a lot of database activities in Excel. It is also possible to do things in one application and bring them into another. A table of data in Excel can be saved and exported so that it can be imported into Access and become a data table. You can copy a table of data or the results of a query and past them into Excel. You can also set up links between different documents. These are just a few examples of what you can do. There are many others. Sometimes that interchangeability is necessary, as it is more efficient to do some of the work in the appropriate application and then bring it into one of the others. Generally Excel is primarily used for working with numerical data and Access is more for other kinds of data, like lists of names and addresses.
What else can I help you with?
When importing an access database table Excel does what?
It will put the fields in Access into columns in Excel, and records in Access will be in rows in Excel. Data will be converted to appropriate data types.
When you data from Access to Excel a copy of the data is created in Excel?
You can copy data from Access and paste it directly into Excel. From a table or query, data can be selected and then copied and pasted into Excel. In that case, data changing in the original Access file will not change data in the Excel file. To do that there must be a link between the data. You can also import data from Access into Excel and from Excel into Access, again maintaining a link to the source if you want.
Can you export information from Excel into Access?
Yes, but you would use the Access import option, instead of an Excel export option. You also can use Excel to SaveAs various formats that Access could import, but direct import from Access probably would be the most efficient method. See related links for various options for sharing data between Excel and Access.
Is Microsoft Access better than Microsoft Excel?
Both Excel and Access are capable of doing a lot of things that the other can do. Excel is a spreadsheet application and Access is a database application, so they are used for different things. They are different kinds of applications so they cannot be compared in full, only on certain things. If you want to do a lot of databasing things, while you can do them in Excel, Access is better for it. If you are doing a lot of calculations, then Excel is better although Access can do calculations too. So it depends on what you want to do.
In Excel which Paste option do you choose to paste a linked Access table?
To paste a linked Access table in Excel, you should choose the "Paste Special" option and then select "Paste Link." This creates a dynamic link between the Access table and the Excel worksheet, allowing any updates made in Access to automatically reflect in Excel. Make sure to copy the table from Access first before using the Paste Special feature in Excel.
What is a formula in Microsoft Access?
Formulas enable you to do calculations. You can do them in Excel and in Access, along with other applications. You would more associate them with Excel than Access, but Access does have a lot of the functionality that Excel has to carry out calculations, including complex ones and ones that use built-in functions. In Excel you typically use cell references in formulas while in Access you use fields. So a formula to multiply two values could be like this in the two applications: Excel: =A2 * C2 Access: =Sales * Tax

Are Microsoft Word and Excel interchangeable?
No they are not interchangeable. There are things that both can do, but Microsoft Word is a word processor and Microsoft Excel is an electronic spreadsheet. So they are both designed for different kinds of jobs. You can copy things between one and the other, like if you have a report in Word, and wanted to include some figures from Excel. Microsoft Word is for working with text and Microsoft Excel is for doing large scale calculations and other numerical analysis and manipulation.

Why do you need Microsoft Access especially if you have Microsoft Excel?
Microsoft Access is a database application and Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application, so they are two different kinds of application. There are things that both can do, but if you want to create a proper database, then Access is better than Excel. It has far more facilities for working with databases than Excel does. Because of that, it is simpler to do lots of things in Access than in Excel. If you want to create a spreadsheet, then that is what Excel is used for, though you can do a lot of things Excel does in Access. If you already have Excel and want to create databases, then you can, but you won't be able to do the really sophisticated things that Access can do and which a really good database needs, such as queries, reports, relationships etc. If you want a really good database that can do those things, then you need Access.
Which is easier Excel VBA or Access VBA?
I would say that there is no differences between Excel VBA and Access VBA. VBA is the acronym for visual basic for application and is the common language for the office suite. Excel vba gives you a native access to excel object (eg a worksheet, a cell, a range, etc.) but object of other applications can be made accessible via configuration (references). Access vba gives you a native access to access object.
