You have a ton of data in Excel and the boss wants a nice report about some of it.  You could:
(a) use Access to create the report in less than a minute.
(b) use the Excel AutoReport to group and summarize the required data.
(c) delegate the task to the part-time person.

Option (a) is the winner hands-down here.  If you got this one right you have a good grasp of efficient data management.

We can either link Access to the Excel data or import the data into an Access table and then use the Access Report Wizard to create the report.  Allowing a minute for the whole operation would be generous.
