Businesses use a wide array of accounting applications to manage their finances. Some businesses use commercial accounting or financial applications while others create in-house programs using tools such as Microsoft Access or Visual Basic. While accounting application features vary considerably, one thing that virtually all of them share in common is the use of a back-end database to index and store data. Many custom accounting applications use the open source SQLite engine to manage data. If your business accounting program connects to an SQLite database, you might want to export data from the application for analysis and use in Microsoft Excel. If the application does not have a built-in control to export data and create spreadsheets, you can use tools included in Excel to retrieve datasets from an SQLite database and insert into your workbooks quickly and efficiently.
