A typical datasheet.

Your coworkers like the database you've created, but they have a complaint — the data seems a bit disorganized. You ask a few questions and learn that they don't need to see all the columns of data, and they'd like some of those columns to be in a different order. What's more, they'd like you to make each row of data easier to scan, if that's possible.

Not a problem. You can make those changes quickly and easily.

The figure above shows the datasheet in its original form. You'll start by rearranging the columns into a more logical order.
