Buad 3050 Assignment 5database Queries With Microsoft Access40 Po

Download the A5_SalesCo.accdb database file and review the tables, fields and relationships to gain a better understanding of the data. Create and execute queries that will answer the following 15 questions. You may use the graphical design view of Access to write your queries for this assignment. Save each of the queries to the database file – using the naming convention of Q01, Q02, Q03 … Q15 – corresponding to the question number.

Questions 1 – 10: 2 points each.

1. Working in the Accounting area of the business, get a list of Customers along with their outstanding balance (cust_balance). Order the data by the customer last name. Format the balance to display with a currency format.

2. Re-write Q1 to display only customers with a balance greater than $3,000 and order the data in descending sequence by the customer's balance.

3. List all customers in the state of 'Connecticut' with all their vital information.

4. Get a list of all invoices for the 4th Quarter of 2017 (October 1 – December 31). Include invoice number, date, total, employee name (first and last), and calculate and include the commission earned using (inv_total * emp_comm). Format currency data appropriately.

5. List all product SKU, description, and prices for Exterior (prod_type), Water based (prod_base), Primer (prod_category) products.

6. List all pertinent information for varnish-type products, where the description contains the word "varnish". Order by product description.

7. List products that need replenishment, where prod_QOH is less than prod_MIN. Display SKU, Description, QOH, and MIN.

8. List employees hired after December 31, 2015, with titles 'Clerk I' or 'Clerk II'. Show full names and emails, ordered by last name. Do not display hire date or title.

9. List managers (employees with 'Manager' in their title), showing Employee number, name, and title.

10. Calculate the total of all outstanding customer balances.

Questions 11 – 15: 3 points each.

11. Count customers in each state, ordered by state.

12. Total sales (inv_total) for each state, ordered by sales descending.

13. Identify top 5 salespersons for 2017 and their sales total.

14. Identify potential duplicate customers (same address, city, state). Display all data for these duplicates.

15. Identify vendors that provide no products, including vendors with zero products, displaying all data.

Assemble a Word document with the following: for each question, include question number, a screenshot of the design view of the query, and a cropped screenshot of the query result showing up to 10 rows. Separate each question’s solution with a visual delimiter.

Save the Word document as lastName_A5.docx, and submit it along with the database file (A5_SalesCo.accdb) containing the 15 queries named as directed to Blackboard.

Paper For Above instruction

In this assignment, we analyze the capabilities and functionalities of Microsoft Access for managing and querying relational databases, exemplified through the A5_SalesCo.accdb database. The exercise involves crafting queries to extract specific business insights pertinent to various organizational roles, including accounting, sales, inventory management, human resources, and financial analysis.

The first ten queries focus on retrieving detailed data with specific filters, sorts, and formatting to facilitate operational decision-making. For example, the querying tasks involve selecting customers based on balance thresholds, filtering customers by state, and summarizing outstanding balances to assess cash flow, which demonstrates the practical application of SQL SELECT statements combined with WHERE, ORDER BY, and formatting functions.

The tasks further require joining tables to collate data such as invoice details alongside employee information, illustrating inner joins in practice. Calculating commissions and aggregating total sales or balances exemplifies the use of aggregate functions like SUM and COUNT, alongside expression calculations within queries.

The subsequent five questions shift towards managerial and analytical insights, with tasks focused on aggregating data across categorical fields (states, vendors), performing rankings (top salespersons), and identifying duplicates to optimize customer data management. These demonstrate more advanced SQL operations, including GROUP BY, ORDER BY with DESC, and self-joins or subqueries for duplicate detection.

Each query must be visually documented via screenshots in design view and datasheet view, with a consistent approach to presentation that supports reproducibility and clarity. The organization of the submission facilitates grading and demonstrates the student's proficiency in translating business requirements into effective SQL queries within Access’s environment.

This assignment underscores the importance of relational database querying skills for business analysis, operational efficiency, and strategic decision-making. It exemplifies core database concepts such as data filtering, joining, aggregation, and pattern matching, underlining Microsoft Access’s role as a practical tool in business data management.
