Creating a Simple Database in Excel

**A Simple Database in Excel** is essentially a structured table where data is stored in rows and columns. Each column represents a field (e.g., Name, Age), and each row represents a record (e.g., a person or a product).

Steps to Create a Simple Database

  • Step 1: Set up column headers in the first row (e.g., Name, Age, City).
  • Step 2: Enter data in subsequent rows, ensuring each row contains a complete record.
  • Step 3: Use Excel features like filters, sorting, and formulas to interact with the database.
  • Step 4: Optionally, format the table as an official Excel Table (Ctrl + T) for easier management.
