Both Excel and Access are capable of doing a lot of things that the other can do. Both can store data. Both allow you to manipulate data. Access is primarily for lists of data, such as names and addresses, while Excel mainly deals with numbers.
Access records are free for modification at any time. The above image shows Access (top) and Excel (bottom) for comparison. Note, when using Access each individual record is given a specific ID number â the first column â to allow you to sort, filter and query your entire database. And your database is just that â a digital store of information.
