Default To database or not?

I suppose you know how to update all sheets simultaneously by group editing?
Contr+each sheet, or shift + first sheet and last sheet.

If the purpose is to simplify the input of values, this method is not
adequate.

I have faced a problem trying to make a complicated table out of a
simple table.

My excel workbook consist of 12 sheets, each representing a month. Each
sheet contains some data in form of name-of-value (row) -
company-devision (column) - value-itself (data).

At first, it was pretty simple table with only few values and
calculations.

But later, I had to make the table more complicated. So, after changing
anything on the one sheet (one month) I had to do the same on all other
sheets. Now the table is huge, and I need to add even more values. It
won't be a piece of cake to replicate everything for all the twelve
months.

Is there any solution I can get from using a database? I have never
worked with Access, but worked a lot with MySQL databases. So, if
Access is the only way out - that won't be a problem for me.
