Excel to Database Migration in Wakefield

Moving Wakefield organisations off spreadsheets into a proper database, where the first job is deciding which copy is right. A workbook that runs part of the business has usually been emailed, duplicated and edited in several places at once — so before anything is migrated, somebody has to establish what the actual current data is.

Why this comes up

The problem

Four versions of the master spreadsheet are in circulation and each contains rows the others do not.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Versions reconciled to establish a single agreed starting position
  • Formulas read as business rules, since that is where the logic lives
  • Data types enforced, because a column of dates will contain text and blanks
  • Validation added for the rules people have been applying by convention
  • An interface provided, as a database without one is worse than the spreadsheet
  • Reporting reproduced, since the pivot tables are what people actually use

Excel to Database Migration in Wakefield — common questions

Why is reconciling versions the first step?
Because there is no single source to migrate. Spreadsheets travel by email and get edited in parallel, so establishing which rows are current is a business exercise requiring the people who use it — and it cannot be resolved technically.
What is hidden in the formulas?
The rules nobody wrote down. Pricing logic, eligibility conditions and calculations built up over years exist only as cell references, and reading them out is genuinely the specification for the new system — including the ones that turn out to be wrong.
Will the data import cleanly?
No, because spreadsheets accept anything. A date column will hold text, notes and empty cells, numbers will be stored as strings, and identifiers will have trailing spaces — so cleansing is a substantial and unavoidable part of the work.
Will people actually use the new system?
Only if it is at least as convenient. Spreadsheets are genuinely good at fast ad hoc editing, so a database with a slow or restrictive interface gets abandoned and the workbook quietly reappears — which makes the interface the part most worth investing in.

Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Wakefield and the surrounding West Yorkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
