The Mr. Smith’s Mastering Series – Using Microsoft Excel As a Database

Excel is not just for Summing, Formulas, Functions and Charts. Excel has far greater capabilities including the ability to perform Database like functions.
Excel is not a full-blown Database like its counterpart “Access”, it does however have similar capabilities, and for the most part can perform many of the features of Access.
This book is written in a way that even those who are relatively new to Excel will be able to perform the required steps to successfully use the feature.
Another advantage of learning “Excel as a Database” is that you are at the same time, understanding the concepts and methods of Access. Many of the processes of filtering in Excel is exactly the same as it is in Access.
Should you decide in the future to tackle Access, you should find the process a lot easier to understand.
As an extra bonus, the actual Excel file has been uploaded as the "Preview", that way you can actually follow the steps in the book.
