In the video store, there may be a spreadsheet for videos and another list for customers. Data can be sorted, filtered, subtotaled and pivoted.

 

How do you connect the spreadsheets? Do you create a third spreadsheet that looks up the movie in one column and the customer who rented it in a second column? This might work with a handful of items. It would be very cumbersome with the thousands and thousands of movies and customers.

 

A database is the best tool for creating a relationship between lists or catalogs.
