Huge Spreadsheet
I have inherited a HUGE spreadsheet that consists of 15 columns, and over
5000 records. It is a list of employee reviews. The Column Headings a Employee name, Review date, Rating, comments, etc. So one employee would have several "records" or rows, one for each review. I would like to pull over records based on certain criteria, such as employee name, date, etc. Is this an application for ACCESS? Thanks!! -- Jeff |

Access could handle this quite effectively.

Thanks!! -- Jeff To add a bit to previous answers, a simple design could be sufficient, given what you've provided. Consider an Employee table, with columns for data related to the employee (including a unique identifier, or primary key, for each employee, such as an employee number). A second table, Ratings, would have columns for data for each rating and include a foreign key column to associate each rating with an employee. |

To add a little more, I would consider further normalizing your "spreadsheet"
so that each rating doesn't have its own column. There is a sample employee evaluation MDB available at: http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/f...8e8 ze79a949f -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "PvdG42" wrote: "Jeff" wrote in message ...
