List 2,031 coins by country, date, denomination, grade, value, quantity, variety, and worth.
| Excel | Access |
| Very customizable | Limited options |
| Sheets for each country | Tables can be made |
| Macros needed get sheet names | Data easily manipulated |
| Shared easily | Few people use it |
Decision:
Excel, because using Access at work I noticed some short comings when converting to Excel. Plus when sharing no one wants Access files. Plus at the beginning I did not know how to classify varieties and thought Excel gave me more choices.
Verdict:
I like the look of the Excel sheets and stuff is easy to find. Unfortunately it is difficult to make graphs and tables involving all the coins. On second thought I should have done it in Acces and just like my work files take a day or day to adjust the Excel output.
When I have time I will make an Access file version.
