Default Excel - Data Analysis Setup

I am grappling with a workbook that maintains clients with client Id
numbers. Each sheet has 2 to 3 states of client data on it, i.e., sheet 1 =
AK, AL, AR, AZ.
The client IDs are like AK0001 or AK0500.

I need to analyze the data in a date column that either shows a date or
shows something like n/a or a ? The other item is that the last 3 digits of
the client id means something. Ex. ???000 - ???0100 represents a particular
team and anything that has ??0500 - ??0600 is a different team. So I'm
looking for which team I am dealing with and if there is a date or n/a or ?
or other text in a date field.

SHould I push into Access to work on? Or should I just combine data in Excel?
