You can use formulas in Access, but you would not use them like you do
in Excel. There is a difference because of the difference between a
spreadsheet and a database, not capabilities.
In a database you store data, not results.
You can use a query (or form or report) to compute values. Access likes
to recompute them each time so don't try and save them to a table.
Unlike Excel, Access does not lend itself to creating different formulas
to different records (rows in Excel). You normally would apply a single
formula to all the available records.
Do you have an example of something you want to do?
