Excel spreadsheets often come into being because an individual or small group of
users find it useful to solve a particular problem. In many cases the
problem is solved, the Excel spreadsheet performs its task and is then parked to
one side, or the need for it simply goes away,
However, in some cases, often driven by growth or change in the business, the
Excel spreadsheet becomes increasingly important. New features are added and more
people start to use it. The spreadsheet starts to become relied upon more and
more and often becomes missions critical for the business or the part of
the business which uses it.
As Excel spreadsheets grow in size and complexity they become more difficult to
manage. Excel spreadsheets will often run into problems where multiple users
need to work with the data at the same time or where complex data based
reports are required etc.
In some cases the spreadsheet becomes too unwieldy and the limits of Excel as a
data storage and processing mechanism are reached. At this point many users
migrate, or should migrate, to a Microsoft Access solution so that the
increasing volumes and complexities of data can be managed by the power of the
Microsoft Access relational database engine.
