Did the person who told you it would be hard to do in Excel have an agenda?
(I.e., were they selling Access?<g>)
Access is a relational database. It has a fairly steep learning curve.
If you only need to sort/filter by some category(ies), and take
totals/percentages, by all means reconsider Excel (or some other
spreadsheet).
