Weegy: here are many ways to share data between databases and spreadsheets. The most powerful way is to use ActiveX Data Objects and Visual Basic for Applications to program the exchange. [ Data transferred this way can be exchanged based on a schedule, it can be validated before the transfer is completed and it can ‘massaged’ by either the sending or receiving application ] (More)

Weegy: y using what-if analysis tools in Microsoft Office Excel, you can use several different sets of values in one or more formulas to explore all the various results. For example, [ you can do what-if analysis to build two budgets that each assumes a certain level of revenue. Or, you can specify a result that you want a formula to produce, and then determine what sets of values will produce that result. Excel provides several different tools to help you perform the type of analysis that fits your needs. ] (More)

Weegy: Microsoft Office Access and Microsoft Office Excel possess many similarities, which can make it difficult to decide which program you should use. [ For example, both programs can store large amounts of data, run powerful queries and analysis tools to slice and dice that data, and perform sophisticated calculations that return the data that you need. However, each program has clear advantages depending on the type of data that you are managing and what you want to do with that data. For example, if it is your goal to maintain data integrity in a format that can be accessed by multiple users, Access is your best choice, whereas Excel is better suited for complex numerical data that you want to analyze in depth. ] (More)

Weegy: To summarize and report results from separate worksheets, you can consolidate data from each separate worksheet into a master worksheet. The worksheets can be in the same workbook as the master worksheet or in other workbooks. [ When you consolidate data, you are assembling data so that you can more easily update and aggregate it on a regular or ad hoc basis. For example, if you have a worksheet of expense figures for each of your regional offices, you might use a consolidation to roll up these figures into a corporate expense worksheet. This master worksheet might contain sales totals and averages, current inventory levels, and highest selling products for the entire enterprise. To consolidate data, use the Consolidate command in the Data Tools group on the Data tab. ] (More)

Weegy: Three kinds of what-if analysis tools come with Excel: scenarios, data tables, and Goal Seek. Scenarios and data tables take sets of input values and determine possible results. [ A data table works only with one or two variables, but it can accept many different values for those variables. A scenario can have multiple variables, but it can accommodate only up to 32 values. Goal Seek works differently from scenarios and data tables in that it takes a result and determines possible input values that produce that result. In addition to these three tools, you can install add-ins that help you perform what-if analysis, such as the Solver add-in. The Solver add-in is similar to Goal Seek, but it can accommodate more variables. You can also create forecasts by using the fill handle and various commands that are built into Excel. For more advanced models, you can use the Analysis Pack add-in. ] (More)
