Excel used to be the poor schmucks database, with spreadsheets that just sort of sat there.
You could create something more sophisticated with LOOKUP functions, but they were a
huge hassle to set up.
Not anymore: Excel 2013s table tools include features that make it easy to link charts and
cells, perform searches, and create dynamically updated reports, just likeyesa relational
database. Excel can handle a lot of day-to-day office data this way, and well show you how
to set it up.
3. In cells A4 through A13 type the sales ID numbersin this case, 101 through 110. The
Sales ID is the unique data value thats used to create a relationship between your two tables.
4. Enter names, addresses, cities, states, and zip codes in the remaining cells. You can copy
the information from this sample worksheet or create your own data. Since we are looking for
the highest sales by city, be sure to create multiple cities in your table. For example, we have
three salespeople in Los Angeles, two in Hollywood, two in San Francisco, and three in San
Diego.
5. Once the data is entered, highlight A3 through F13, including the column headers. From
the Styles group, select Format as Table. From the dropdown, choose a color and format you
like. A Format As Table dialog box appears with the table range displayed in the white box.
Ensure that the My Table Has Headers box is checked, then click OK.
Select fields from sales and master tables, then create relationship.
Excel makes the connection, then displays the report on the screen: Total Sales by City. Enter
a report title in A1, and its complete.
