Spreadsheets are divided into rows and columns. Let each row represent a given patient and assign a column to the items of information you want to store, Name, File #, Procedure, Date of Procedure and so on. You can sort on any column at any time and format each column for the specific type of data in contains. No need to use a big clunky database for that. Just open up an empty spreadsheet and start entering. No very much to learn either :-) Have fun.
