    starting a DB from excel spreadsheet, lots of calculations


    Hey,

    Im starting to build a Database to keep track of managing clients. I have setup a spread sheet that works well, the issue is that it takes to long to add a new client, and the data isnt in the most appealing way. I am hoping to set it up, to allow forms and reports to display information. my biggest road block is how to start since A lot of the columns are calculated. from my experience, and research you want to stay away from calculated fields. So I was planning on using queries to do this. No I have attach a sample spread sheet, With some of my notes, I am stuck on how to construct tables from this. Obviously We need a clients table, but from there im stuck.Attachment 12649

    Have you reviewed the templates that come with Access and those on line to see if there is something close to what you need that you can modify?

    yes I have, the templates I have viewed in access do not suit my needs. I have set up my clients table up like Northwind templates customers
