Hello Microsoft community,

I had a quick question concerning the look of my spreadsheet. It is a fairly
simple spreadsheet so I think someone with more knowledge of Excel might be
able to answer easily.

The spreadsheet I am referring to is a catalog of documents. These documents
are organized by categories that get more specific. For example column 1 is
general, 2 is a bit more specific, and 3 is very specific. There is then a
brief description following columns that describe the type of document it is
(article, book, etc.) as well as language and title of the document.

Now for my question. I was wondering if there is anyway to make this
spreadsheet more search able and like a type of database. If possible, I
would like users to be able to click the categories and then have them get
more specific until they were finally at the article of choice.

Is this possible in anyway? Am I right in thinking that Excel is capable of
something like this? Is there any place I can find an example, tutorial, or
just more information in general on this type of thing?

The only other example I can think of that compares to something like this
is that of a library.

Thank you for your time
