Working with a 'proper' database is a skill I still lack, which I would very much like to acquire. I was hoping this job would help, but instead I just enter everything into Excel. (To be fair, you can manipulate data a fair bit using Excel formulas. I just don't know all of them.)
Try MS Access. It is pretty simple to use, and has a nice export to Excel feature. Once you "get" Access it should be easy to move on to more advanced DB tools. Access also has a better UI that should make data-input work easier.
Thanks.
