Spreadsheets are more than for accounting.

Statistics are so interesting. I was curious about the NFL draft. Thinking how could I look at the results of the draft. Voila a spreadsheet of course. A spreadsheet is sometimes known as a flat file and looks much like an accountant's worksheet. That is it has no relation to any other file in its most rudimentary form. For our purposes that would be just fine.The original list was in the order of when someone was drafted.



So I gathered the data from the draft with everything in corresponding columns. That makes sense. Then I thought what can I do. Arranging or sorting a list is one of the pluses of the spreadsheet. Let's see you have the team name, draftee and his position, plus some other vital data. Posed myself a question that maybe opposing teams might ask. The teams obviously drafted where they thought they might need help. Lets do a sort and see who needs what. Instructions to do a sort for your spreadsheet may vary.


Noticed that there was only one punter drafted. Is that not cool? Feel like a NFL manager for a second.
