My question to someone with experience in excel is this.

We are trying to import data that is dumped from a source to a destination
and thn generate reports on certain criteria within our workbook. We want
to
be able to analyze Volume on our phone switches which would include
multiple
metrics. My question is excel the best choice for this or would a DB be
more
efficient @ this task. The problem we run into with Access is the file
name
length of 64 characters Max. some of our dumped files exceed these
lenghts..

Any insight would be highly appreciated
