Sounds like a bad use-case for Excel. I know it’s not strictly a numbers tools, but sorting lengthy text? Not sure how I’d approach that, never done it, but that doesn’t sound like Excel.
People use Excel for everything. Soo many spreadsheets out there should really have been databases, but the suits have one hammer they know how to use and they’re determined to use it.
TL;DR: Sounds like something someone who knows how to use other tools would say
It’d help if the database options weren’t piles of shit: they’re all so particular about data types and column definitions. And then the data entry tools (“forms”) are always a mix of shit UI and insane programming.
Googles “tables” within sheets get reasonably close to what a system like that should look like.
