> A lot easier than making a CRUD interface ontop of a Base database. Making an interface for a few columns of a few hundred rows sounds like the classic NCIS

  > Making an interface for a few columns of a few hundred rows sounds like the classic NCIS hacker line "let me quickly code a GUI in Visual Basic to run that IP address check". I can understand that, but keep in mind; I add a new line at the end of the spreadsheet for every new vocab word that is highlighted by the book. I had to look over to make sure I got everything so the words need to be sorted. So I had to select everything in the menu -> two clicks, then click sort->another two clicks. For every few words... It was much easier just to make a button into the spreadsheet that does this for me. One click. It was also a perfect excuse to learn about macros. If you ask 'what's the point?' for every fun little technology you learn about-you will become depressed fast.
