Hi Matt,

Excel is good when you have a small number of scenarios to analyze. A database is approproate when the number of scenarios is
large. Obviously, the number of scenarios is beyond what Excel can analyze efficiently for you. So, Access is the appropriate tool
for you. I provide help with Access, Excel and Word applications for a small fee. Let me put together a database for you that you
can use to analyze your reactor data. I would import your existing Excel data into the new database. My fee would be very
reasonable. The advantage to you would be you would get to see how an Access application is put together, you would get a more
efficient system for analyzing your reactor data and at that point if you wanted to add more functionality you could learn Access
and add the new functionality yourself.

By the way, I was previously an engineer in a large refinery so am familiar with reactor data.

Hello everyone,

I've been wondering this question for a few weeks now. My situation is that
I generate many "runlogs" from my reactor that have various outputs, such as
temperatures, sensor data, etc. versus time. Very frequently, I want to
compare one runlog to another. Sometimes I want to average the output of
several runlogs together. I currently have a macro made up in Excel that
analyzes the files, but it really is getting harder to manage all the excel
files floating around.

So is it worth dumping all the excel output from my macro into a database
and comparing them that way?

Thanks,
Matt
