Fields in MS Access

Question:

I am starting to work on the database assignment and am confused by what you mean by the "fields" to describe the sensor, as well as the "records" for each sensor. I have watched the videos you posted to learn how to use MS Access, just am confused by the actual terms of the assignment and what to put in to our database.

Response:

Every table has at least one, usually multiple, “fields”.  They are the equivalent of columns in an Excel spreadsheet, and will be created that way if you import an Excel spreadsheet.

Similarly, the rows of an excel spreadsheet correspond to the individual records of a table, and will be imported that way.
