I have a worksheet containing the following columns; Article No., Article
Group, Article Description and 12 columns representing sales volume per month
(Jan to Dec). There are approximately 200 items thus 201 rows.

To able to create reports which interact with our accounting database I need
to convert the above into access database. Each record would therefore
contain Article No., Article Group, Article Description, month and respective
volume, thus approximately 12*200 records.

Could an excel/access guru advice me on how to do it!!
