How do the data get into spreadsheets? Can't you simply avoid all
spreadsheets? Spreadsheets are the worst file format to store
interrelated table data. Even plain text files can be more suitable for
data processing as suggested by Jorge.
Databases are development tools which save you and you co-workers a lot
of time over the years. Just like a programming language, a database
won't do anything for you unless you do something with it proactively.
You won't get anywhere by mere trial and error. It is not as simple as
copying raw data from one file into another.
The way how you describe your problem is entirely non-technical. We do
not see any of your data you are going to process nor can we really
understand your aim.
I am computer savvy but failed programming miserably so I need the input of the
many smart people on this list
In other words, you want us to do your work?
