What can you do in Excel that you cannot do in Access?
There are lots of differences as they are two applications designed for different tasks. Access is mainly for storing lists of data of different kinds. Excel is for Numerical Analysis and Manipulation. So its focus is on working with numbers. As such it provides a much wider range of functions than Access does. Access stores data in tables, but with Excel it is easier to lay out tables visually and put all sorts of calculations around them, like totals and averages, together with the original data. Access can store the data in tables and do calculations, but they are not done together. Excel provides a wide variety of charts, many very specialised, which Access does not. Excel has the power of doing extensive pivot tables and gives other ways of analysing data, which Access does not. There are a lot of things both can do, but Excel is more versatile in what it does and it can be used in many creative and imaginative ways. Access is good at what it does, but it is designed for different kinds of tasks than Excel is. There are many other differences. When it comes to processing numeric data of any kind, Excel does far more.
