Defining Database Ranges

# Defining a Database Range

You can define a range of cells in a spreadsheet to use as a database. Each row in this database range corresponds to a database record and each cell in a row corresponds to a database field. You can sort, group, search, and perform calculations on the range as you would in a database.

You can only edit and access a database range in the spreadsheet that contains the range. You cannot access the database range in the LibreOffice Data Sources view.

1. Select the range of cells that you want to define as a database range.

2. Choose Data - Define Range.

3. In the Name box, enter a name for the database range.

4. Click Options.
