Microsoft MVPs Dick Kusleika (Daily Dose of Excel) and Mike Alexander (DataPig Technologies) bring you the first ever Excel and Access Integration Workshop!
This 2-day workshop is designed to give you a comprehensive review of the wide range of integration techniques that can be performed using Excel and Access. Through step-by-step instruction, you will explore the benefits of integrating Excel and Access, the differences and similarities between Excel and Access, and some of the common pitfalls of moving and analyzing data across applications.
The goal of this workshop is to help you to explore all the functionality that exists when Excel and Access are brought together, liberating you from the daily grind of routine data practices. During this 2-day workshop, you will learn how to:
* Easily move data between Excel and Access
* Store Excel data in a structured relational database
* Use Excel pivot tables with Access Data
* Report Access Data using Excel’s presentation layer
* Move Data between Excel and Access using MSQuery and SQL
* Automate redundant processes using Macros and VBA
Note: This course involves the use of VBA and fundamental Access techniques which will not be covered during the 2 days of this event. In order to get the most out of this workshop, we highly recommended that you have some experience working with Access and a basic understanding of VBA.
Each registered student will receive free books and other prizes.

Sorry, but “DataPig”? Seriously?
“Yeah, boss, I’d like to attend the ‘DataPig Technologies’ workshop…”
Sure…
They are one of the best places to learn excel and access. Or you could just get caught up in the name.
By the way, excel doesn’t really excel.

Michael,
Yeah I see what you mean. DataPig is neither memorable nor describes what the business I’m in.
To be fair, all the sane coherent names like Google and Yahoo were taken.
My choices were
PigSoft
Olap-Dancer
Mr. ToolBar
DataPig
Microsoft makes alot of sense too. It is neither micro or soft…….
You didn’t snap up olapdancer.com? You’ll regret that someday.
olapdancer.com is currently available!
Not a bad name for a data reporting company.
The slogan can be:
“Olap-Dancer ~ Manipulating your business to make it grow”
Everyone has my permission to use this name.
