Adding a Lookup Field from Another Table

•A lookup field allows the user to select data from a list of items. •One type of lookup list presents values from a field in another table or a query. •The easiest way to create a lookup list is to use the Lookup Wizard. To create a new lookup field from Datasheet view: 1.On the Table Tools Fields tab, in the Add & Delete group, click the More Fields button. 2.From the Basic Types section of the Field Types gallery, click Lookup & Relationship. 3.The Lookup Wizard opens. To create a new lookup field from Design view: 1.Type a name for the new field in the Field Name column in the first empty row. Press Tab . 2.Expand the Data Type list, and select Lookup Wizard... to open the Lookup Wizard.

Using a Parameter Query

•A parameter query is a type of select query that allows the user to provide the criteria. •When you create a parameter query, you specify the field or fields the query will use to limit the records in the results just as you would if you were entering the criteria yourself. •However, you don't specify the exact criteria. Instead, you enter a prompt the user will see when the query is run. The user then enters the exact value or values to use as the criteria

Relational database

•A relational database is a database containing multiple tables that are related to one another. •Relational databases often breaks data into several tables with fewer fields. The opposite of a relational table structure is sometimes referred to as flat table.

Creating a Basic Report Based on a Table or Query

•A report displays data from a table or query in a format suitable for printing. •Like forms, reports depend on a record source for their data. •Unlike forms, you cannot enter new data into a report.

WEB SERVICES

•A web service is any piece of software that makes itself available over the internet. •Typically uses XML (expanded markup language) to encode communication. •Operating system independent. •Self-describing via XML •Discoverable through a simple location method.

Designing a Table

•Access is a relational database—objects in your database are related to one another through relationships defined by common fields between tables. •Take advantage of these relationships, and design your database so information for a similar group of objects such as people, places, and items is stored in one table only. •Storing each unique piece of data in a single table helps prevent data entry errors. •Another key to an efficient database design is ensuring that each field is assigned the appropriate data type.

INFRASTRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS

•Accessibility •Availability •Maintainability •Portability •Reliability •Scalability •Usability

What Makes a computer a Computer?

•All computers have the following: -Input -Processor -Memory (not the same thing as storage) -Output Goes beyond hat we think of as a basic computer EX) . Smart Phone, Home Device, Smart Lighbulb. My sprinkler system

Integration

•Allows separate systems to communicate directly with each other, eliminating the need for manual entry into multiple systems An organization have many different systems with different databases to serve different functions. Application integration Data integration Forward integration Backward integration

Creating a Table in Design View and Setting the Primary Key

•Another way to create a new table is in Design view. •In Design view, you create the fields without entering data. You must specify the field name and data type for each field. •The Design view window is divided into two panes. -The top pane lists the table fields. -The bottom pane is the Field Properties pane. It displays details about the selected field.

Navigating Records

•At the bottom of the datasheet or form window, you'll find navigation buttons to help you move quickly to the beginning or end of the dataset. •To navigate among records in a table, form, or query results: -Move to the next record by clicking the Next Record button. -Move to the previous record by clicking the Previous Record button. -Move to the first record in the dataset by clicking the First Record button. -Move to the last record in the dataset by clicking the Last Record button. -Move to a specific record number by typing the number in the Current Record box, then pressing Enter

Details about each data type are described below

•AutoNumber—An AutoNumber field is automatically assigned its value by Access. •Short Text—A Short Text field can hold up to 255 characters. •Long Text—A Long Text field holds text and numbers like a Short Text field, except you can enter up to 65,535 characters in a Long Text field. •Number—A Number field holds a numerical value. •Date/Time—A Date/Time field stores a numerical value that is displayed as a date and time. •Currency—A Currency field stores a numerical value with a high degree of accuracy (up to four decimal places to the right of the decimal).. •Yes/No—A Yes/No field stores a true/false value as a -1 for yes and 0 for no. •Hyperlink—A Hyperlink field stores a Web address or email address. •Attachment—An Attachment field stores files as attachments to records Calculated Field—A Calculated field uses an expression (a formula) to calculate a value.

Big data

•Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data - both structured and unstructured - that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis. But it's not the amount of data that's important. It's what organizations do with the data that matters. Big data can be analyzed for insights that lead to better decisions and strategic business moves.

•Data comes in all types of formats - from structured, numeric data in traditional databases to unstructured text documents, emails, videos, audios, stock ticker data and financial transactions.

Data visualization

•Data visualization is the graphical representation of information and data. By using visual elements like charts, graphs, and maps, data visualization tools provide an accessible way to see and understand trends, outliers, and patterns in data.

Data warehouse

•Data warehousing is a technology that aggregates structured data from one or more sources so that it can be compared and analyzed for greater business intelligence.

Adding a Calculated Field to a Query

•Database fields generally display the data that are entered into them. •However, a calculated field displays a value returned by an expression (a formula). •Expressions can reference fields, mathematical operators, functions, and constants. •You use the Expression Builder to create calculated fields in tables and queries and calculated controls in forms and reports.

Using Database Functions

•Database functions allow you to perform statistical analysis on data that meet specific criteria by building queries similar to those used when working with a database. •Excel includes database versions of many statistical functions you are already familiar with. They have the same names, with a D added to indicate database: DSUM, DAVERAGE, DMIN, DMAX, DCOUNT, DCOUNTA, and a few more.

All the database functions require the same arguments:

•Database—the data arranged in rows and columns with column labels. •Field—the column to use in the calculation. The column can be identified by the column number in the database array or by the column label enclosed in quotation marks. •Criteria—the cell range defining the conditions the data must meet in order to be included in the calculation. -The criteria range must have at least two rows. -The first row includes labels that match the column labels in the database range. You need to include only the columns for which you will enter criteria. -The second row is where you enter the criteria. Criteria can be numeric values, expressions, or text.

Types of data analytics

•Descriptive -What happened? EX) creating a report that includes charts and graphs that explains data, •Predictive -What will happen? EX) Using past data sales to predict future sales data •Prescriptive -What will happen and what should we do to change the outcome? EX) Airline using past purchasing data as inputs into a model that recommends the best pricing strategy across all flights allowing the company to maximize revenue

Enforcing Deletions and Updates in Relationships

•Enforcing referential integrity between related tables ensures accuracy by preventing deleting or updating of records that would cause a violation of the relationship between the primary and secondary tables. •Instead of preventing updates or deletions, you can set relationship options to delete or update the related records in the secondary table. •These options are known as cascading options because when they are enforced, an action on one table cascades to affect records in the related table.

Adding Fields to a Form in Layout View

•If you are starting with a blank form, you will need to add controls to display field data. •The most common type of control is the text box control. Text box controls can display text, numbers, dates, and similar data. -A text box control that displays data from a table or query field is called a bound control because it is connected (bound) to the field. -Unbound controls are not connected to field data directly. •Adding a field to a blank form places two controls in a stacked layout. A label control displays the name of the field on the left and a bound text box control displays the field data on the right.

Calculating Totals with SUMPRODUCT

•In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplying two or more numbers. •The SUMPRODUCT function allows you to multiply the corresponding cells in two or more ranges and then sum (add together) the products. -This function is very useful when totaling columns of data such as hours worked and hourly rates or unit prices and number of units ordered. -To use SUMPRODUCT, arrays do not need to be next to each other, but they must have the same number of rows or columns. If the arrays are different sizes, the formula will return an error. The formula at right first multiplies each value in the range C4:C15 by its corresponding value in the range D4:D15 and then sums the products: =SUMPRODUCT(Array1,[Array2],[Array3]...) =SUMPRODUCT(C4:C15,D4:D15)

Understanding and Viewing Table Relationships

•In the Relationships window, each table is represented by a box listing all the fields in the table. •Primary key fields are identified with a key icon next to the field name. •Lines representing the type of relationship connect related fields. •In a one-to-many relationship, the one field in the main table that relates to many records in the secondary table is represented by a 1. The corresponding field in the secondary table is represented by an infinity symbol.

Adding a Lookup Field from a List

•Lookup fields are useful for fields that reference a specific list of items. •A lookup field does not need to reference data in another table or query. •You can enter your own values to create a custom list.

The MATCH function has two required arguments and one optional argument:

•Lookup_value—the text, number, or logical value you want to match. •Lookup_array—the range of cells grouped in a single row or column that contains the value you want to look up. If your data are organized as a table, be careful not to include the header row or label column in the Lookup_array range. •Match_type—(optional) If you want to return only an exact match, you must enter 0 as the argument value. -If the lookup array is sorted from smallest to largest, enter 1 (or omit the argument) to find the first position where the value is less than or equal to the lookup value. -If the array is sorted from largest to smallest, enter -1 to find the first position where the value is greater than or equal to the lookup value.

Managing Errors with the IFERROR Function

•Most of Excel's functions return an error when a value cannot be found or when the formula cannot be calculated. •Rather than displaying an error message to users, it may be more useful to display a text message or a specific value that you define. The IFERROR function performs this task. we can make the error message more user-friendly, as shown in the next figure. The IFERROR function takes two arguments. •Value—the formula to calculate. •Value_if_error—the value, text string, or formula to use if the formula in the Value argument results in an error. If you use a text string, enclose it in quotation marks. =IFERROR(Value,Value_if_error)=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B1,Stock,3,FALSE),"item not found")

There are three main rounding functions. Each of these functions takes two arguments:

•Number—the number or formula to round. •Num_digits—the number of digits to the right of the decimal to round to. ROUND—Rounds the number up or down to the number of decimal places specified in the Num_digits argument. The rules of rounding state that if the number immediately to the right of the rounding point is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, the trailing digits are cut off. If the number immediately to the right of the rounding point is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, the number is rounded up. A formula using the ROUND function looks like this: =ROUND(Number,Num_digits) =ROUND(B1/B2,2)

Access is a relational database

•Objects in the database are related to one another through relationships defined by common fields between tables. •There are three types of relationships: one-to-many, one-to-one, and many-to-many. •One-to-many relationships are the most common. In a one-to-many relationship, the main table contains a primary key field that is included as a field (the foreign key) in the secondary table.

Applying an Input Mask

•One of the keys to an effective database is consistent data entry. •An input mask forces users to enter data in a consistent format. •Input masks are available only from the Design view Field Properties pane. •The Input Mask Wizard offers a variety of common input masks including phone number and date and time formats.

Working with Attachment Fields

•One of the most useful enhancements to recent versions of Access is the ability to create Attachment fields to store files as attachments to records. •Attachments can be pictures, Word documents, or almost any other type of data file. •For security reasons, Access will not allow program files (for example, .exe or .bat files) or any files greater than 256 MB as attachments.

Using the Simple Query Wizard

•Queries allow you to display and manipulate a subset of data from a table. •Queries can also be used to combine data from related tables into a single database object. Use the Simple Query Wizard to create a simple select query. A select query displays data from one or more related tables or queries, based on the fields that you select. To create a query using the Simple Query Wizard: 1.On the Create tab, in the Queries group, click the Query Wizard button. 2.In the New Query dialog, Simple Query Wizard is selected by default. Click OK. (cont'd.) 3.Click the Tables/Queries drop-down arrow. Click the first table or query from which you want to add data. 4.To add a field to the query, double-click the field name in the Available Fields list to add it to the Selected Fields list, or click the field name and then click the button. (cont'd.) 5.To add data from another table or query, click the Tables/Queries drop-down arrow again and make your selection. 6.Add the field or fields you want to include in the query. 7.When you have added all the fields you want, click Next (cont'd.) 8.The radio button to create a detail query is selected by default. The detail query shows every field you selected for every record. Click Next. 9.Give the query a meaningful title. 10.To see the results of the query immediately, verify that the Open the query to view information. radio button is selected. Click Finish.

Predictive ANALYTICS methods

•Regression Analysis •Machine Learning

Three ways of Looking at Data

•Reporting (simple w like with access) •Analyzing (more in depth with more advanced tools •Mining (look at large data are try to show patterns) (from simple to complex)

nested formulas or nested functions

•Rounding functions are often used in conjunction with another function. •These formulas are referred to as nested formulas or nested functions because one function is "nested" within the other function as shown in the figure at right. Notice in the function in cell B10, the Num_digits argument is set to 0 to round to the nearest whole number. =ROUND(AVERAGE(G1:G13),0) When ROUND is used in a nested formula, the Number argument contains the formula you want to calculate.

Rounding with Functions

•Rounding refers to adjusting a number up or down to make it more appropriate to the context in which it is being used. •Numbers can be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number or the nearest factor of ten, hundred, thousand, or any limit. •The rounding functions in Excel are used specifically to control the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. •Excel uses the stored value, not the displayed value, in calculations. •In the following figure, the average unit price is 16.9387755102041 By adding one of the rounding functions to the formula, you can ensure that the stored value matches the displayed value

Finding Minimum and Maximum Values

•The MAX (maximum) statistical function will give you the largest value in a range of values. A formula using the MAX function looks like this: =MAX(A3:A6) •The MIN (minimum) statistical function will give you the smallest value in a range of values. A formula using the MIN function looks like this: =MIN(A3:A6)

Calculating Loan Payments Using the PMT Function

•The PMT function is based on constant payments and a constant interest rate. •To calculate a payment using PMT, you need three pieces of information: the interest rate (the Rate argument), the number of payments (the Nper argument), and the amount of the loan (the Pv argument). =PMT(Rate,Nper,Pv) •Because the result of the formula is a payment (money going out), it is expressed as a negative number. If you want the result expressed as a positive number instead, add a negative symbol before the loan amount (the Pv argument).

Data mining

•The difference between data analytics and data mining is that data analytics is used to test models and hypotheses on the dataset, e.g., analyzing the effectiveness of a marketing campaign, regardless of the amount of data; in contrast, data mining uses machine learning and statistical models to uncover clandestine or hidden patterns in a large volume of data.

IFERROR is used in a nested formula.

•The first argument contains the formula you want to calculate. •The second argument is the text string, value, or formula to display if there is an error.

•The query Design window has two parts.

•The upper pane shows the tables referenced in the query. •The lower pane shows the query grid where you specify which fields to include in the query.

Transactional Data tables

•These are tables where your main data "lives". •They are called transactional because this is where everyday "transactions" occurs and changes constantly happens. •Examples of Transactional Data -Contacts -Sales -Inventory Employees

Lookup data tables

Creating a Depreciation Schedule

•When a business purchases a significant asset such as equipment or computer software, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) state that the expense must be spread over the asset's useful lifetime. This is referred to as depreciation. •Depreciation over the life of an asset is figured in a depreciation schedule. •Depreciation is important because the value of the asset must be stated accurately on financial statements like the business's balance sheet. •At the end of each accounting period, the asset's book value is recalculated using the initial cost minus the accumulated depreciation.

Analyzing Complex Formulas Using Evaluate Formula

•When working with a workbook that contains complex formulas, it can be very helpful to evaluate the formulas step by step before attempting to make any changes. •The Evaluate Formula feature allows you to view and analyze the current value of each part of a formula.

Straight Line

Straight-line depreciation is the simplest depreciation to figure: (the cost of the asset minus the salvage value) divided by the life of the asset (in years). Because straight-line depreciation is the same for every period in the depreciation schedule, there is no need for a period argument. To calculate straight-line depreciation, use the SLN function. =SLN(Cost,Salvage,Life)=SLN(Cost,Salvage,Life)

Calculating Future Value with the FV Function

The FV (future value) function calculates the future value of an investment. For example, if you deposit the same amount of money every period at a steady interest rate, use FV to calculate the future value of your savings. The FV function has three required arguments and two optional arguments: •Rate—the interest rate. If the interest rate is an annual interest rate, it must be divided by the number of payment periods per year. •Nper—the total number of payments. •Pmt—the amount of each payment. As the payment is money going out, it is usually expressed as a negative number. •Pv—(optional) the present value or how much the investment is worth today. If there is no money in the investment vehicle prior to the first payment, you can omit this argument. When the Pv argument is empty, Excel assumes a value of 0. •Type—(optional) when the Type argument is empty, Excel assumes a value of 0 and calculates the result based on payments at the end of each period. Enter 1 for this argument if funds are added to the investment the beginning of each period.

Creating a Form Using the Form Wizard

The Form Wizard walks you through the steps of creating the form, including selecting fields and a layout. To create a new form using the Form Wizard: 1.On the Create tab, in the Forms group, click the Form Wizard button. (cont'd.) 2.The Form Wizard opens. The first step is to expand the Tables/Queries list and select the underlying table or query for your form. 3.The Available Fields box displays all the fields from the table or query you selected. Double-click a field to move it to the Selected Fields box or click the field name once to select it and then click the right arrow button. Click the double right arrow button to add all the available fields with a single click. 4.If you want to include fields from more than one table or query, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have selected all the fields you want in your form. Click the Next button to go to the next step. 5.If you selected fields from related tables, the next step in the wizard asks how you want to organize the data in the form. To create a form with a subform, in the How do you want to view your data? box, select the table that is the "one" part of the one-to-many relationship. The wizard will create a subform—a form within the form—to display the related records from the "many" table. Verify that the Form with subform(s) radio button is selected, and then click Next. (cont'd.) 6.The next step asks you to select layout options. If your form includes a subform, select a layout for the subform: Tabular or Datasheet. If the form does not include a subform, you can select from a list of layout options for the main form: Columnar, Tabular, Datasheet, or Justified. Click the radio button for the layout option you want, and then click Next. (cont'd.) 7.Enter a title for the form. If your form includes a subform, enter the title for the subform as well. The subform will be saved as a separate database object. Select whether you want to open the form to view and enter information (Form view) or modify the form's design (Design view). (cont'd.) 8.Click Finish to save the form.

MODE.MULT

The MODE.MULT function, used in the figure at right, populates cells H8:H9 (the results array) with the two mode values: 22 and 25. =MODE.MULT(Number1,[Number2]...)=MODE.MULT(C2:C22) •Notice that the formula is the same as the formula for MODE.SNGL except it is surrounded by braces. •The braces tell Excel that this is an array formula and that the selected cells should be populated with multiple values. Use one of these methods to enter the formula: A.Enter the formula by typing it directly in the formula bar. After typing the formula, press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Enter]. Using this keystroke combination instructs Excel to enter an array formula. Notice that Excel places braces around the formula. You cannot type the braces. You must use [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Enter] after typing the formula. B.Enter the formula using the Function Arguments dialog. 1.On the Formulas tab, in the Function Library group, click the More Functions button, point to Statistical, and then click MODE.MULT. 2.Enter the cell range or range name to evaluate in the argument box. 3.Click OK. 4.Place the cursor in the formula bar and press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Enter] before clicking another cell or pressing any other keyboard key.

Calculating the Number of Payments with NPER

The NPER function calculates the number of payments available from a retirement account or due on a loan given a constant interest rate and payment amount. The NPER function has three required arguments and two optional arguments: •Rate—the interest rate. If the interest rate is an annual interest rate, it must be divided by the number of payment periods per year. •Pmt—the amount of each payment. As the payment is money going out, it is usually expressed as a negative number. •Pv—the value of the investment or loan today. (continued) •Fv—(optional) the amount of money left after the last payment is made (the future value). If the final balance in the account is expected to be zero, you can omit this argument. When the Fv argument is empty, Excel assumes a value of 0. •Type—(optional) enter 1 for this argument if the payment is made at the beginning of each period. When the Type argument is empty, Excel assumes a value of 0 and calculates the result based on payments at the end of each period. When paying yourself from a retirement account, the payment is usually made at the beginning of each period, so set Type to 1.

Vertical privilege escalation

Attackers grant themselves a higher access level such as administrator, allowing the attacker to perform illegal actions such as running unauthorized code or deleting data. For example, an attacker might log on to a network by using a guest account and then exploit a weakness in the software that lets the attacker change the guest privileges to administrative privileges.

Horizontal privilege escalation

Attackers grant themselves the same access levels they already have but assume the identity of another user. For example, someone gaining access to another person's online banking account would constitute horizontal privilege escalation.

There are multiple ways to calculate depreciation, but most depreciation functions use the same arguments:

•Cost—the initial cost of the asset—usually the purchase price. •Salvage—the fair market value of the asset at the end of its useful life. •Life—the number of years the asset will be used. •Per or Period—the number of the accounting period, where each accounting period is one year of the asset's life. Cost, Salvage, and Life are constant values in the depreciation schedule and require an absolute cell reference or name reference. Period is usually a relative reference to the column in the depreciation schedule that displays the period number. As the depreciation formula is copied, this reference updates automatically.

Changing Worksheet Orientation

•Orientation refers to the direction the worksheet prints. It doesn't affect the way the worksheet looks on your computer screen. •The default print setting is for portrait orientation—when the height of the page is greater than the width (like a portrait hanging on a wall). •If your workbook is wide, you may want to use landscape orientation instead, where the width of the page is greater than the height.

The PV function has three required arguments and two optional arguments:

•Rate—the interest rate. If the interest rate is an annual interest rate, it must be divided by the number of payment periods per year. •Nper—the total number of payments. •Pmt—the amount of each payment. As the payment is money going out, it is usually expressed as a negative number. •Fv—(optional) the amount of money left after the last payment is made (the future value of the investment). If the final balance in the account is expected to be zero, you can omit this argument. When the Fv argument is empty, Excel assumes a value of 0. •Type—(optional) enter 1 for this argument if the payment is made at the beginning of each period. When the Type argument is empty, Excel assumes a value of 0 and calculates the result based on payments at the end of each period. When using PV to calculate the amount needed for annuity payments, the payment would generally be at the beginning of the period, so Type must be set to 1.

Key components of a database

•Tables -Contains related records, example People •Records -Rows in a table, representing the different people we are storing •Fields -Columns in a table representing the different objects stored. First Name, Last Name •Queries -Saved searches., subset table -All students with the last name "Smith" -All students with a GPA over 3.5 -All students born in November Extends to also include: •User Interfaces (where you enter data) -Forms (some can produce data) -Administration Reports (where you get data out)

The types of objects in an Access database are:

-Tables—Store all the database data. They are the essential building blocks of the database. A table looks similar to a spreadsheet. -Each row in the table contains all the data for a single record. -Each column in the table represents a specific data value called a field. All records in a table have the same fields. •A relational database is a group of tables related to one another by common fields. •Forms—Allow users to input data through a friendly interface. Entering data through a form is easier than entering it directly into a table. All the data entered into a form are stored in the underlying database table(s). •Queries—Extract data from a table or related tables. Saved search and subset table that allow you to make criteria, filters, and sort . Queries can also perform actions on tables such as updating data values or deleting data. •Query results may look like a table, but they do not store data permanently. •The query results are updated dynamically each time the query is run—retrieving data fresh from the table(s) upon which the query is based. •Reports—Display database information for printing or viewing on-screen. Reports do not allow data entry; they are read-only.

To sum data that meet multiple criteria, use SUMIFS.

. SUMIFS takes arguments for up to 127 pairs of criteria ranges and criteria. The result of SUMIFS is the total of all the cells that meet all criteria. SUMIFS takes three required arguments and multiple optional arguments: •Sum_range—the range of cells to sum where criteria are met •Criteria_range1—the range of cells containing the values to be evaluated against the first criteria •Criteria1—the first criteria •Criteria_range2—(optional) the range of cells containing the values to be evaluated against the second criteria •Criteria2—(optional) the second criteria (continuing up to Criteria_range127 and Criteria127)

System Implementation Methods

1) parallel implementation- uses both the legacy system and new system until all users verify that the new system functions correctly 2) plunge implementation- discards the legacy system and immediately migrates all users to the new system 3) pilot implementation- assigns a small group of people to use the new system until it is verified that it works correctly; then the remaining users migrate to the new system 4) phased implementation- installs the new system in phases until it is verified that it works correctly

DATA MAPPING

1. Data mapping allows for connections between two systems. This connection allows for data initially captured for one purpose to be translated and used for another purpose. One system in a map is identified as the source while the other is the target. 2. Process by which two distinct data models are created and a link between these models is defined. 3. A process used in data warehousing by which different data models are linked to each other using a defined set of methods to characterize the data in a specific definition. This definition can be any atomic unit, such as a unit of metadata or any other semantic. This data linking follows a set of standards, which depends on the domain value of the data model used. Data mapping serves as the initial step in data integration

Creating a Table in Design View and Setting the Primary Key

Before saving the table, you should set the primary key field. Because the data contained in the primary key field must be unique for each record, primary keys are often IDs—product IDs, employee IDs, or record IDs. •If your data does not already contain a field that is unique for each record, you can add a new field that uses the AutoNumber data type. Using an AutoNumber field ensures that each record has a unique numerical ID. •If your table contains a field that you know is unique for each record (such as a previously established product ID, employee ID, or part number), you can set this field as the primary key.

Financial savings.

It is typically cheaper to hire workers in China and India than similar workers in the United States. Technology is advancing at such an accelerated rate that companies often lack the resources, workforce, or expertise to keep up. It is close to impossible for an IT department to maintain a "best-of breed" status, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises where cost is a critical factor.

Exploring More Logical Functions: AND and OR

The logical functions designed specifically to return a TRUE or FALSE response are the AND and OR functions. There are multiple correct approaches to asking questions about your data. How you pose the question determines which function you should use to answer it—AND or OR? •If you are looking for a true value to multiple conditions, use AND. •If you are looking for a true value to any one of multiple conditions, use OR. The logical function AND returns TRUE if all the arguments are true, and FALSE if at least one of the arguments is false.

Creating Relationships

When a lookup field in one table references values in a field in another table, Access will automatically create a one-to-many relationship between the tables for you. In other cases, you may need to manually create a relationship between two tables. Enforcing referential integrity ensures that related database records remain accurate. If a relationship has Enforce Referential Integrity checked, then the tables will conform to the following rules: •You cannot add a record to the secondary table without an associated record in the primary table. •You cannot make changes to the primary table that would cause records in the secondary table to become unmatched. •You cannot delete records from the primary table if there are related records in the secondary table.

Finding the Middle Value with MEDIAN

When analyzing a list of values, calculating the statistical average may not always provide the information you need. The statistical median is the middle value of a set of values. If you were to sort the list of values from highest to lowest, you would find the value that is right in the middle. The formula in the following figure uses MEDIAN to find the middle value for the range C2:C22. =MEDIAN(Number1,[Number2]...)=MEDIAN(C2:C22)

Resizing Controls

Using NPV to Calculate Present Value When Payments Are Variable

The NPV function is similar to PV, but it allows for variable payment amounts when calculating the present value of future payments. NPV can be especially useful for comparing two investment or payment options. The NPV function has two required arguments: •Rate—the discount rate—the interest rate that would be reasonably expected if the money were invested elsewhere. •Value—the payment amount both incoming (positive) and outgoing (negative). NPV takes up to 254 Value arguments (Value1, Value2, etc.). •NPV assumes payments are made over consistent periods of time and each payment comes at the end of the period. NPV ignores cells containing text and blank cells. If your argument range includes periods with no values, be sure to enter 0 instead of leaving the cells blank.
