At least that’s what it seems like from my own experience. The majority of my Excel experience involves inputting a bunch of data into the cells, and then using different mathematical formulas for calculations, and then displaying it in a table. For example, in one of my engineering classes at Glendale Community College, we used different formulas to calculate say, the distance of different projectiles shot out at different angles.

It seems like you could use Excel to make the calculations for your dataset, and then use SQL for management and to sort and display the data in the database. For the group project, Jaira and I chose a CORGIS dataset with different cancer statistics for each state....
