Hi

Before you go off on the task of moving all your data to a Relational
database, consider why it is that you want to do so.

Your data sounds as though it would be ideal for analysis via a Pivot
Table, and I would suggest you take a look at this first to see if your
requirements can be satisfied. You can view data in all sorts of ways
and change those views very quickly with a Pivot Table.

Take a look at the following sites
