Something like Microsoft Access is literally built to be a database, while I don’t have experience personally with that program, I’ve heard it’s miles better for that type of work than excel
Access has the benefit that it allows you to build a front end and can have a relational database on the back end. You also can use real databases such as SQL. So it’s definitely better in that regard than Excel.
